CALLIPHORIDAE

In the CDO (JAMES 1977) 18 spp. in of ten genera were listed ( Silbomyia 1 sp., Bengalia 2 spp., Hemipyrellia 1 sp., Hypopygiopsis 1 sp., Phumosia 1 sp., Chrysomya 2 spp., Cosmina 2 spp., Idiella 3 spp., Isomyia 4 spp., Rhinia 1 sp.). Three of them were described from Thailand: Silbomyia asiatica CROSSKEY, 1965 (p. 80), Isomyia facialis JAMES, 1970 (p. 13), Isomyia lugubris JAMES, 1970 (p. 4).

After 1977 the calliphorid fauna of Thailand was intensively surveyed. For instance, in the series of papers “Studies on medically important flies in Thailand ” TUMRASVIN et al. (1979) reported on 42 species of calliphorid flies. KURAHASHI & TUMRASVIN (1979) described Chrysomya thanomthini (p. 243, Doi Inthanon), TUMRASVIN & KANO (1977) described Catapicephala kurahashii (p. 127) and C. michikoae (p. 129). TUMRASVIN et al. (1977) recorded four Lucilia species new for the Thailand fauna. KURAHASHI & TUMRASVIN (1979) described six new calliphorid species from Thailand, later they ( KURAHASHI & TUMRASVIN 1992) described three new species of the subfamily Rhiniinae . KURAHASHI (1995a, b) described two new species of Dexopollenia and three new Cosmina from Thailand.

We collected a well-preserved and species-rich material (55 indiv. in 2004, 14 indiv. in 2003), but for lack of expertise, they were not identified during this project.
