CHIRONOMIDAE

Surprisingly, in the CDO (SUBLETTE & SUBLETTE 1973) there are no species recorded from Thailand.

After 1973 HASHIMOTO (1985) recorded the phytophagous chironomid, Polypedilum anticum (JOHANNSEN) also from Thailand. MOUBAYED (1989) described P. (Polypedilum) siamensis (p. 276), Rheotanytarsus orientalis (p. 278) and Tanytarsus gianii (p. 280) from Thailand, one year later he ( MOUBAYED 1990) described Rheotanytarsus thailandensis and Tanytarsus thaicus . REISS (1997) described Microtendipes schuecki from Thailand. ANDERSEN & WANG’ s (1997) paper on darkwinged Heleniella and ADAM & SAETHER’ s (1999) revision of the genus Nilothauma are with new spp. and records from Thailand. A review of the Oriental Rheotanytarsus was given in two papers of KYEREMATEN et al. (2000a, b) with records also from Thailand. MENDES & ANDERSEN (2002) described Qiniella thai from N Thailand. EKREM (2002) reviewed a high number of south and east Asian Tanytarsus v. D. WULP, his paper is also with Thai records. MENDES et al. (2004) reviewed Antillocladius SAETHER , Compterosmittia SAETHER and Litocladius new genus ( Orthocladiinae ), with records from Thailand.

We did not make special collecting, so our chironomid material is insignificant (8 indiv.).
