COPROMYZINAE

Achaetothorax malayensis PAPP & NORRBOM, 1992 – 9 m 13 f: PF04/5; 2 m: FSz03/25. Its description was based on two females. The first m together with two f were captured in the Kaeng Krachan NP on fresh cattle dung ( PAPP 2003). It is not abundant even on elephant dung, since the above specimens were selected from ca. 30000 specimens.

Immoderatus foldvarii L. PAPP, 2004 – 96 m f: PF04/5 (plus its type series). Now it was captured in larger numbers very close to its type locality on elephant dung.

Metaborborus (M.) orientalis L. PAPP, 2003 – 66 m 37 f: PF04/5; 2 m 1 f: PF04/4; 1 m: PF04/32; 70 m 27 f (10 m 5 f in the NIIH): FSz03/25. It was described as the Oriental subspecies of M. flavior (VANSCHUYTBROECK, 1959) , based on a single male from Nepal. Now I think, it deserves a species rank. It is common on elephant dung in Thailand (our specimens were selected from several hundreds of M. orientalis individuals captured there).

M. (Dudaborborus) saliens ( DUDA, 1923) – 9 m 25 f: PF04/5; 1 m: PF04/20; 3 m 2 f: FSz03/25. It was described from Timor and hitherto known only from Timor and Malaysia. New to Thailand. After accumulating more material in Dudaborborus , it will be worth revising the specimens from the Asian continent and those from the Archipelago and other islands .

Norrbomia indica L. PAPP, 1988 – 27 m 10 f: PF04/5; 1 m: PF04/7; 1 f: FSz03/25. A widespread Oriental species, known also from Thailand ( ROHÁČEK et al. 2001).

Norrbomia marginatis (ADAMS, 1903) – 4 m 2 f: PF04/5; 2 f: PF04/20; 4 m: FSz03/25. Widespread in the Old World tropical and subtropical areas, incl. Thailand ( ROHÁČEK et al. 2001) .

In addition to the above genera and species of the subfamily Copromyzinae , Copromyza zhongensis NORRBOM & KIM, 1985 was found in Vietnam (Sin Chai, “Legendary place”, 15.11.2003, No. 6, along forest path & creek, leg. FÖLDVÁRI, PEREGOVITS, KŐRÖSI), thus its occurrence in Thailand is also expected. Four spp. of Lotophila have already been recorded from the Oriental region, so the representatives of the genus are also expected to occur in Thailand.
