PIPUNCULIDAE – M. FÖLDVÁRI

In the CDO HARDY (1975) 16 species of two genera (today they are Cephalosphaera (1 sp.), Cephalops (3 spp.), Beckerias (1 sp.), Microcephalops (1 sp.), Eudorylas (8 spp.) and Tomosvaryella (2 spp.)) were listed. Formerly eight of them, Cephalosphaera inusitata (HARDY, 1972) (1972 b: 34), Cephalops nagatomii (HARDY, 1972) (1972 b: 22), Eudorylas indivisus (HARDY, 1972) (1972 b: 48), Eudorylas lentiger ( KERTÉSZ, 1915) (p. 386), Eudorylas monothrix ( HARDY, 1968) (p. 455), Eudorylas remotus (HARDY, 1972) (1972 b: 60), Eudorylas scissus (HARDY, 1972) (1972 b: 61), Tomosvaryella hactena HARDY, 1972 (1972 b: 71) were described from Thailand.

Cephalops pulvillatus ( KERTÉSZ, 1915) was listed in the CDO (HARDY 1975, p. 299), but it is not reported as part of the Thai fauna in DE MEYER (1996).

HARDY (1972 a) reported Tomosvaryella oryzaetora KOIZUMI, 1959 , Eudorylas javanensis (DE MEIJERE, 1907) , Eudorylas orientalis (KOIZUMI, 1959) , Eudorylas roralis ( KERTÉSZ, 1915) , Tomosvaryella subvirescens (LOEW, 1872) and Tomosvaryella sylvatica (MEIGEN, 1824) from Thailand.

YANO (1979) listed Eudorylas mutillatus LOEW, 1857 , Eudorylas macropygus (DE MEIJERE, 1914) , Clistoabdominalis confusoides (LAMB, 1922) (as Dorylomorpha lini HARDY 1972 , (1972 a), a junior synonym of Cli. confusoides ) and Tomosvaryella nitens (BRUNETTI, 1912) (the latter sp. not listed in DE MEYER (1996) as part of the Thai fauna).

ALBRECHT (1990) described Dorylomorpha (Dorylomima) similis from Doi Suthep-Pui National Park. Recently KEHLMAIER (2005) reported Claraeola colossus ( HARDY, 1972 c) from Thailand.

We collected 34 specimens in 2004 and 11 specimens in 2003, among them the following taxa:

Eudorylas mongolorum KUZNETZOV, 1990 – 2 m: PF04/38 ( Figs 38–43 ). The junior author’s (M. F.) intention was to describe it as new species, as the closest relative of Eudorylas phatnomus HARDY, 1968 . These specimens differ from HARDY’ s species in the colour of the first flagellomere, being yellow and having the pollinosity of the frons (separated) reduced to the lower half leaving the rest shining black.

It has to be noted that based on the figures and description given by KEHLMAIER (2005), E. mongolorum seems to be closely related to E. sinuosus of the Afrotropical Region, therefore detailed study of types of both species at the same time will be necessary to establish species identity.

Eudorylas mutillatus (LOEW, 1858) – 2 m: FSz03/18; 1 m: PF25; 1 m: Trang Prov., Tung Khai Bot. Garden, broad leaved forest, 28.11.2003, swept, OROSZ & SZIRÁKI .

Eudorylas sp. 1 . – 6 m, Eudorylas – 17 spp., 18 indiv., Tomosvaryella – 5 spp., 7 indiv., Dasydorylas – 3 spp., 3 indiv., Chalarus – 4 indiv., Microcephalops sp. – 5 indiv., Cephalops – 6 spp., 7 indiv.
