CHLOROPIDAE

In the CDO (SABROSKY 1977) 16 spp. of 12 genera were listed for Thailand: Anatrichus 1 sp., Cadrema 2 spp., Elachiptera (Melanochaeta) 1 sp., Gampsocera 1 sp., Gaurax 1 sp., Meijerella 1 sp., Siphunculina 3 spp., Tropidoscinis 1 sp., Anthracophaga 1 sp., Mepachymerus (Steleocerellus) 2 spp., Neoloxotaenia 1 sp., Pachylophus 1 sp.). None of them was described from Thailand.

After 1977 several papers on the Oriental Chloropidae (but none on Thaii Chloropidae ) were published.

The HNHM material from Thailand is very rich in species (2004: 405 indiv, 2003: 179 indiv.). The species richness is to be estimated based on the data (J. DEEMING, pers. comm.), which are from the sorting and determination of the MHNG chloropid material from 2000 (ca. 500 indiv., numerous spp. in 35 genera). Dr. DEEMING plans to publish that material soon.
