DOLICHOPODIDAE – M. FÖLDVÁRI

In the CDO DYTE (1975) listed 10 species in eight genera and three of them have been described from Thailand: Condylostylus perforatus PARENT, 1934: 294 , Mesorhaga argentifacies PARENT, 1941: 213 and Paraclius siamensis PARENT, 1941: 225 .

In the last decade several good papers were published on the Thai dolichopodids. GROOTAERT & MEUFFELS (1997 a) described new Paramedetera species from Thailand: Paramedetera turschi (p. 380), Paramedetera ankarum (p. 385), Paramedetera horrorifera (p. 383). GROOTAERT & MEUFFELS (1997 b) described a new genus, Griphomyia from Thailand with Griphomyia gravicaudata (p. 111) as type species. GROOTAERT & MEUFFELS (1998 a) described Haplopharynx , a new genus from Thailand with Haplopharynx mutilus (p. 254), as type species and Haplopharynx phangngensis (p. 258) as new species. GROOTAERT & MEUFFELS (1998 b) described Nanothinophilus , a new genus from Thailand with Nanothinophilus armatus (p. 166), and Nanothinophilus dolichurus (p. 171) and Nanothinophilus pauperculus (p. 169) as new species. GROOTAERT & MEUFFELS (1998 c) published new locality data on the species Griphophanes gravicaudata in Thailand. BICKEL (1999) described new species of the genus Mastigomyia BECKER from Thailand: Mastigomyia amami and M. trangensis . GROOTAERT & MEUFFELS (1999 a) reported Terpsimyia semicincta ( BECKER, 1922) from Thailand. GROOTAERT & MEUFFELS (1999 b) described a new species from Thailand, Chaetogonopteron chaeturum , which is considered to be very common throughout the country. GROOTAERT & MEUFFELS (2001 a) described two new species from Thailand: Hercostomus flavicans (p. 213) and Steleopyga dactylocera (p. 208). GROOTAERT & MEUFFELS (2001 b) described seven new species from Thailand: Cymatopus thaicus , Thinolestris thaica , Thinophilus nitens , Th. parmatus , Th. setiventris , Nanothinophilus hoplites and Phacaspis mitis . GROOTAERT & MEUFFELS (2002) described three new Asyndetus species: A. ciliatus , A. aciliatus and A. thaicus , and reported A. latifrons for the first time from Thailand. MEUFFELS & GROOTAERT (2004) described Teuchophorus brachystigma , T. enormis , T. eurystigma , T. fimbritibia , T. fulvescens , T. ketudatae , T. krabiensis , T. obscurus , T. ornatuloides , T. ornatulus , T. parmatus , T. pauper , T. simplicissimus , T. stenostigma and T. vexillifer as new species from Thailand. SHAMSHEV & GROOTAERT (2004 a) described Microphorella malaysiana and M. satunensis from Thailand ( Microphorinae are presently classified as Dolichopodidae s. lato). SHAMSHEV & GROOTAERT (2005 a) described Eothalassius as a new genus to science from Papua New Guinea and Eothalassius gracilis (p. 114) as a new species from Thailand.

We collected 568 specimens of Dolichopodidae in 2004 and 215 indiv. in 2003; due to the lack of time we did not sort to genus level.
