DIPTERA OF THAILAND A summary of the families and genera with references to the species representations Papp, L. Merz, B. Földvári, M. Acta Zoologica Academiae Scientiarum Hungaricae 2006 2006-07-31 52 2 2 97 269 6279F 7190 Newman 1834 [721,866,932,958] Insecta Simuliidae Animalia Diptera 24 121 Arthropoda family  Since Thailandis rich in fast running waters and other habitats proper for the development of simuliids, the fauna is rather rich. And indeed, after 1973 a number of high quality papers were published with descriptions of new spp. and new records. As a consequence, by now the family Simuliidaeis one of the better known dipterous families in the fauna of Thailand. In their summary on the blackflies of Thailand, beside a number of new records,  TAKAOKA & SUZUKI(1984)described two spp. of S. (  Gomphostilbia): S. ( G.) inthanonense, p. 18, S. ( G.) siamenseand five spp. of S. (  Simulium):  S. barnesi, p. 31,  S. chamlongi, p. 27, S. chiangmaiense, p. 38, S. naknonense, p. 33,  S. thailandicum, p. 37.  TAKAOKA& ADLER(1997)described a new subgenus,  Simulium( Daviesellum), and a new species,  S. ( D.) courtneyi, from Thailandand the Peninsular Malaysia.  KUVANGKADILOK et al. (1999)published new records in their paper on the distribution of the larvae of blackflies at Doi Inthanon National Park.  TAKAOKA& KUVANGKADILOK(1999)described four new spp. from Thailand.  KUVANGKADILOK& TAKAOKA(2000)recorded several spp. and described a new species.  TAKAOKA(2001)described  S. ( Simulium) wejifrom Thailand.  TAKAOKA& CHOOCHOTE(2002)described two new spp. of the  S. griseifronsspecies group from Thailand.  TAKAOKA& CHOOCHOTE(2004 b)in their list and keys to black flies in Thailand45 species of  Simulium LATREILLE s. l.are listed, and keys to subgenera and species within each subgenus are provided for adults, pupae and mature larvae. That included their former description (  TAKAOKA& CHOOCHOTE2004 a) of two new species of S. (  Simulium) from Thailand(  S. sucharitiand  S. setsukoae, Doi InthanonNational Park, Chiang Mai Province). We selected and pinned 34 indiv. in 2004, 43 indiv. in 2003, but for lack of expertise, we did not try to identify them.
