Genus Dichoptera Spinola, 1839

REMARKS. Here this genus is recorded from Thailand for the first time. The taxonomy of Dichoptera is in need of a full revision (Constant et al., 2016). One species, D. conspersa

Schmidt, 1911, was described from Thailand, Bangkok (Schmidt, 1911) but none of the two species listed hereunder seems to match the illustrations of D. conspersa provided by

Melichar (1912: pl. 1, figs 7–9). However, a full study of the genus based on the type material is necessary to confirm or refute the possible status of the species from Khao

Krachom Mountain.
