PLECIIDAE

Two pleciid species were described from Thailand. EDWARDS (1928) described Plecia minor from Mabek, but that being a junior primary homonym of Plecia minor JAENNICKE, 1867 , HARDY gave it a new name, Plecia malayaensis HARDY, 1948 . Plecia siamensis HARDY, 1953 (p. 100) was described from “Koh Chong Island”.

We captured ten specimens of three Plecia species.

Plecia sp. 1 . 3 m: PF04/35. A species close to P. siamensis , but not conspecific. Plecia sp. 2 . 5 m: PF04/7/11/12/17. A species obviously in the P. impostor group.

Plecia sp. 3 . 1 m 1 f: PF04/12/15. A large-bodied species.
