EPHYDRIDAE

Fourteen spp. of 12 genera were listed in the CDO (COGAN & WIRTH 1977) for Thailand, incl. a junior synonym: Chlorichaeta albipennis ( LOEW, 1848) , Allotrichoma alium CRESSON, 1929 , Diclasiopa galactoptera ( BECKER, 1903) , Hecamedoides canolimbatus (DE MEIJERE, 1916) , H. tarsalis (DE MEIJERE, 1916) , Ceropsilopa cupreiventris (VAN DER WULP, 1897) , Rhynchopsilopa magnicornis HENDEL, 1913 , Typopsilopa chinensis ( WIEDEMANN, 1830) (syn. Psilopa sorella BECKER, 1924 ), Dryxo (Cyphops) fasciata JAENNICKE, 1867 , Notiphila (N.) dorsopunctata WIEDEMANN, 1824, Donaceus nigronotatus CRESSON, 1943 , Zeros invenatus ( LAMB, 1912) , Brachydeutera hardyi WIRTH, 1964 and B. longipes HENDEL, 1913 .

MATHIS & ZATWARNICKI (1995) listed 18 spp. in their Catalog with occurrence in Thailand, incl. the following additional spp.: Hydrellia philippina FERI- NO, 1968, Hecamede granifera (THOMSON, 1868) , Lamproclasiopa mera CRESSON, 1939 , Hecamedoides hepaticus (DE MEIJERE, 1916), Polytrichophora brunneifrons (DE MEIJERE, 1916) , P. canora CRESSON, 1929 , Psilephydra iridescens ZATWARNICKI in MATHIS and ZATWARNICKI, 1988 (p. 112, S. Banna Nakhon) and Setacera breviventris (LOEW, 1860) . However, they did not list four spp., which had been involved in the CDO as occurring in Thailand: Chlorichaeta albipennis , Diclasiopa galactoptera , Donaceus nigronotatus and Brachydeutera hardyi . MATHIS & ZATWARNICKI’ s (1988) paper on the tribe Dagini, ZATWARNICKI & MATHIS’ s (2001) paper on Discocerini and MATHIS & ZATWARNICKI’ s paper (2002) on Dryxini include data also on Thailand ephydrids. KRIVOSHEINA (2001) recorded Notiphila species from Thailand. ZATWARNICKI (2002) described Orasiopa tajlandica recently.

Our material is numerous and rich in species. In 2004 we selected and pinned 505 indiv., in 2003 68 indiv. Contrary to our original plans, for lack of time we did not select them even to genera.
