PYRGOTIDAE – V. A. KORNEYEV

Trichempodia cockerelli MALLOCH, 1930 (p. 466) was described from Thailand (“top of Doi Satep ”). Study of the holotype (in coll. BMNH) showed that the species is certainly congeneric with the other species of the genus Geloemyia HENDEL, 1908 , widespread from Russian Far East to Madagascar but further nomenclatural changes should be made in a forthcoming revision (KORNEYEV, in prep.). Twelve pyrgotid species are known to occur in the Peninsula of Indochina and bordering territories of India (Sikkim) and China (Yunnan) , but only two have been recorded hitherto from Thailand.

Workers of the HNHM collected seven specimens of pyrgotids in Thailand (Fang, Mae Fang NP, Doi Pha Hom Pok, on UV light) in 2003. They belong to two species now assigned to Adapsilia WAGA ; one of them is new for the fauna of Thailand.

Adapsilia brevispina MALLOCH, 1934 – 1 f: FSz03/10. Described from Sichuan, China but not mentioned either in the Palaearctic or Oriental catalog.

Adapsilia verrucifer HENDEL, 1933 – 1 m: FSz03/8; 2 m: FSz03/10; 3 f: FSz03/12. Described from Sichuan, China. KORNEYEV (2004) recorded it also from Thailand (Chiang Mai Prov., Doi Suthep ).
