MILICHIIDAE

In the CDO (SABROSKY 1977) five milichiid species were listed from Thailand: Desmometopa microps Lamb, 1914 , Desmometopa singaporensis KERTÉSZ, 1899 , Desmometopa varipalpis MALLOCH, 1927 , Milichiella bakeri ALDRICH, 1931 ; Milichiella smithi ALDRICH, 1931 (p. 399) was described from Bangkok.

In the HNHM there are 516 milichiid specimens from our collection in 2004 and 24 indiv. from 2003.

Milichiella lacteipennis (LOEW, 1866) – 5 m 1 f: FSz03/25. It is widespread in the tropical regions, almost circumtropical. Contrarily, we do not know any record from Thailand. Our specimens were captured on elephant dung.

Milichiella smithi ALDRICH, 1931 – 1 m: FSz03/17; 1 f: PF04/5. It is fortunate to collect this beautiful species again. Ours is presumably the formerly unknown female of the species (we base this opinion on the yellow colour of its tarsi and its hyaline wings).

Desmometopa singaporensis KERTÉSZ, 1899 – 1 m: Phatthalung Prov., Wildbreeding Center Phatthalung, secondary arboreal vegetation, black light trap, 26. 11. 2003, No. 29, OROSZ & SZIRÁKI.

Desmometopa spp. We have collected another 2 m 7 f indiv. of another three species, incl. “D. sp. L.” “ Malaya ” of SABROSKY (1983).

Neophyllomyza spp. Our material is significant (2004: 47 indiv., 2003: 3 indiv.). There are representatives of four new spp. in it, which will be described in the frame of a paper in progress on the Oriental species of Neophyllomyza .

Paramyia nitida L. PAPP, 2002 – 1 m: PF04/30. Described from Indonesia, Sumatra (Aceh) recently, new to Thailand .

Paramyia sp. aff. flagellomera L. PAPP, 2002 – 3 m: PF04/35/38/43.

Paramyia sp. aff. formosana L. PAPP, 2002 – 1 m: PF04/36; 3 f: PF04/38/42/43.

Paramyia sp. aff. triangularis L. PAPP, 2002 – 1 m 1 f: PF04/35; 1 f: PF04/36.

Paramyia spp. 5 m 7 f indiv., some of them may represent even new species but a careful study incl. that on male genitalia under high magnification is needed to identify Paramyia spp. correctly (see PAPP 2002).

Phyllomyza spp. Our material of Phyllomyza is exceptionally rich (435+7 indiv.). It contains at least eight species new to science. They will be described in a revision of the Oriental species in a forthcoming paper.

Stomosis spp. – sp. 1: 1 f: FSz03/15; a large bodied, wholly yellow sp.; sp.2: 1 f (much damaged, head lost): PF04/42.
