PIOPHILIDAE

Only three species of Piophilidae were listed in the CDO (STEYSKAL 1977), but it that is probably true that the Oriental fauna is poor in piophilid species (cf. OZEROV 2004). Based on larvae collected in connection with a forensic case in Thailand, SUKONTASON et al. (2001) published SEM morphology of Piophila casei (LINNAEUS) .

We captured a single male only, of a common species, which however, is recorded from Thailand for the first time.

Protopiophila contecta ( WALKER, 1860) – 1 m: PF04/42. Formerly known from Sumatra ,

Celebes, Taiwan, the Philippines and New Guinea, new to Thailand.
