LONCHOPTERIDAE

We found no published records of Lonchopteridae from Thailand. The HNHM expedition collected 17 specimens of Lonchoptera spp. in 2003 and 2 indiv. in 2004. The material contains four species. While looking over them, ANDERSSON’ s (1971) paper on Lonchoptera spp. from NE Burma was used. However, we did not find conspecific specimens in our material. The HNHM has a rich material of Oriental Lonchopteridae . From Vietnam we have six additional species and also our material from Taiwan seems interesting. It seems advisable to study all those specimens in the frame of a project on the Oriental Lonchoptera .
