DIOPSIDAE – M. FÖLDVÁRI

In the CDO (STEYSKAL 1977) only four species and one subspecies belonging to two genera were listed. Three species ( Cyrtodiopsis currani SHILLITO, 1940, p. 159 , Teleopsis adjacens BRUNETTI, 1928, p. 276 , Teleopsis sexguttata BRUNETTI, 1928, p. 275 ) and a subspecies ( Cyrtodiopsis dalmani truncata BRUNETTI, 1928, p. 277 ) were described from Thailand. The two genera are considered as one genus, Teleopsis (cf. MEIER & BAKER 2002).

We collected 138 specimens in 2004 and 114 specimens in 2003. Live specimens were collected during the 2004 expedition around Chiang Mai and kept alive in the laboratories of the Stalk-eyed Fly Research Group at the University College of London , U.K. They proved to be a Teleopsis species new to science, and they will be described in a separate paper together with molecular, morphological, behavioural and allometric data. Here we publish a habitus figure, a drawing of the first leg ( Figs 44 and 66) and collecting data of dry specimens deposited in the HNHM .

Teleopsis sp. n. 1. ( Figs 44 and 66) – males: PF/03, PF/07, PF/12, PF/19; females: PF/12, PF/25, PF/03, PF/41, PF/39, PF/07 (2ex.); 1 indiv.: FSz03/17.

List of other genera (indiv. 2004/2003): Teleopsis sp. 1 . (22/47), Teleopsis sp. 2 . (33/17), Teleopsis sp. 3 . (19/20), Teleopsis sp. 4 . (6/16), Teleopsis sp. 5 . (2/0), Eurydiopsis sp. 1 . (12/1), Eurydiopsis sp. 2 . (0/10), Eurydiopsis sp. 3 . (0/2), Sphyracephala sp. (33/0).
