TEPHRITIDAE

The Thai fauna of Tephritidae is much better known, than that of the majority of acalyptrate families.

( Hemigymnodacus ) 1 sp., D. ( Pacifodacus ) 2 spp., D. ( Zeugodacus ) 10 spp., (plus an unnamed subgenus nr Daculus ( HARDY, 1973: 75) , Acanthonevra 8 spp., Diarrhegma 1 sp., Hexacinia 1 sp., Rioxa 2 spp., Themara 1 sp., Tritaeniopteron 2 spp. (+ an unnamed sp.), Xarnuta 1 sp., Adrama 1 sp., Andramoides 1 sp., Heterosphira 1 sp., Dimeringophrys 1 sp., Euphranta (E.) 1 sp., E.

After 1977 even more spp. were newly recorded from Thailand. MEKSONGSEE et al. (1991) overviewed all the fruit fly species recorded until that date in Thailand, TAKEISHI (1992) studied the fruit flies as quarantine subjects from Thailand to Japan. HANCOCK & DREW (1994 b) gave the first records of A. cassanova and Proanoplomus yunnanensis . The papers of HANCOCK & DREW (1994 a) on Asian Trypetinae, DREW & HANCOCK’ s (1994 a) revision of Ichneumonopsis HARDY and Monacrostichus BEZZI, DREW & HANCOCK’ s (1994 b) summary on the Bactrocera dorsalis complex in Asia, the revision of DREW et al. (1998) on Dacus spp. , and HANCOCK & DREW’ s (1995a) paper on Trypetinae are also with first records also for Thailand. HANCOCK & DREW (1995b) recorded four Acanthonevra spp. ( A. desperata , A. gravelyi , A. hemileina , A. ultima ) for the first time from Thailand. HANCOCK & DREW (1999) made a monography on bamboo shoot fruit flies of Asia (Ceratitidinae) and described Acroceratitis hardyi (p. 647, paratype from Thailand). In a book-size paper ALLWOOD et al. (1999) summarised the host plant records for fruit flies in southeast Asia, with numerous records also from Thailand. HANCOCK & MCGUIRE (2002) published 13 new country records for Thailand of fruit flies in subfamilies Phytalmiinae , Ceratitidinae, Trypetinae and Tephritinae . Ceratitella inthanona was described from Thailand. In their revision of Adramini of the South Pacific and SE Asia HANCOCK & DREW (2005) newly recorded Coelotrypes latilimbatus (ENDERLEIN) from southern Thailand.

Our material is rather diverse (2004: 161 indiv., 2003: 104 indiv.). They will be identified and published later.
