In the CDO (WIRTH 1973) the subfamily Leptoconopinae were listed with two Thai spp., both were described from Thailand: Leptoconops (Holoconops) xuthosceles CHANTHAWANICH & DELFINADO, 1967 (p. 299) and L. (Leptoconops) siamensis CARTER, 1921 (p. 20). Ninety-five spp. of 10 genera of other ceratopogonids were listed: Culicoides (Avaritia) 7 spp., C. ( Beltranmyia ) 1 sp., C. ( Culicoides ) 6 spp., C. ( Haemophoructus ) 2 spp., C. ( Meijerehelea ) 4 spp., C. (Monoculicoides) 1 sp., C. (Oecacta) 2 spp., C. (Pontoculicoide s) 1 sp., C. (Trithecoides) 12 spp., Culicoides 12 (unplaced) spp., Alluaudomyia 18 spp., Monohelea 1 sp., Stilobezzia (Eukraiohelea) 5 spp., S. ( Neostilobezzia ) 3 spp., S. ( Stilobezzia ) 12 spp., Tetrabezzia 1 sp., Calyptopogon 3 spp., Neosphaeromias 1 sp., Sphaeromias 2 spp., and Xenohelea 1 sp.
Only 28 spp. were described from Thailand; in addition, there are other three names, which proved to be junior synonyms, Culicoides (Monoculicoides) homotomus KIEFFER, 1921 (syn. C. denmeadi CAUSEY, 1938 a: 403 ), Culicoides (Oecacta) schultzei (ENDERLEIN, 1908) (syn. C. housei CAUSEY, 1938 a: 407 ) and Stilobezzia (Stilobezzia) chasteli CLASTRIER, 1967 (syn. S. punctiventosa DAS GUPTA & WIRTH, 1968: 106 ).
The still valid species are: Culicoides (Trithecoides) gewertzi CAUSEY, 1938 a (p. 409), C. (Trithecoides) macfiei CAUSEY, 1938 a (p. 411), C. (Meijerehelea) hegneri CAUSEY, 1938 a (p. 402), C. (Trithecoides) gewertzi CAUSEY, 1938 a (p. 409), C. (T.) macfiei CAUSEY, 1938 a (p. 411), Culicoides corti CAUSEY, 1938 a (p. 411), C. hewitti CAUSEY, 1938 a (p. 413), C. huffi CAUSEY, 1938 a (p. 406), C. shermani CAUSEY, 1938 a (p. 404), Alluaudomyia annulipes WIRTH & DELFINADO, 1964 (p. 637), A. fuscipennis WIRTH & DELFINADO, 1964 (p. 612), A. griffithi WIRTH & DELFINADO, 1964 (p. 635), A. inaequalis WIRTH & DELFINADO, 1964 (p. 613), A. magna WIRTH & DELFINADO, 1964 (p. 632), A. sternalis WIRTH & DELFINADO, 1964 (p. 617), A. thurmanorum WIRTH & DELFINADO, 1964 (p. 629), Stilobezzia (Eukraiohelea) fuscipes DAS GUPTA & WIRTH, 1968 (p. 20), S. (E.) fusciterga DAS GUPTA & WIRTH, 1968 (p. 22), S. (E.) minuta DAS GUPTA & WIRTH, 1968 (p. 23), S. (Neostilobezzia) artistyla DAS GUPTA & WIRTH, 1968 (p. 41), S. (Neostilobezzia) subnebulosa DAS GUPTA & WIRTH, 1968 (p. 38), S. (N.) venefica DAS GUPTA & WIRTH, 1968 (p. 39), S. (Stilobezzia) distinctifasciata DAS GUPTA & WIRTH, 1968 (p. 135), S. (S.) isthmosteca DAS GUPTA & WIRTH, 1968 (p. 116), S. (S.) pseudofestiva DAS GUPTA & WIRTH, 1968 (p. 89), S. (S.) subfestiva DAS GUPTA & WIRTH, 1968 (p. 94), Calyptopogon brevitarsis MACFIE, 1939 (p. 8), Neosphaeromias gibbus DAS GUPTA & WIRTH, 1970 (p. 879).
In their revision of the Oriental Dibezzia KIEFFER spp. WIRTH & RATANAWORABHAN (1981) described D. debenhamae (p. 202) from Malaysia with Thai paratypes. WIRTH & RATANAWORABHAN (1981) described five new species ( Bezzia lewvanichae , p. 322, B. yasumatsui , p. 424, Mackerrasomyia wongsirii , p. 404, Nilobezzia yasumatsui , p. 409 and Phaenobezzia mellipes , p. 427) and recorded several other spp. from rice paddies in Thailand. GROGAN & WIRTH (1981 a) described Niphanohelea as new genus of Sphaeromiini with N. bannae (p. 202) from Thailand. GROGAN & WIRTH (1981 b) described Jenkinshelea niphanae (p. 45) and J. tokunagai (p. 49) from Thailand. WIRTH & RATANAWORABHAN’ s (1992) paper on the Oriental species of Atrichopogon ( A. jacobsoni group) is with holotypes from Malaysia. WIRTH & HUBERT’ s (1989) bulky monograph of Culicoides of southeast Asia included also records from Thailand. YU & WIRTH (1997) published the monograph of Lasiohelea of southeast Asia, incl. spp. in the Thailand fauna.
In 2004 we selected and pinned 247 indiv., in 2003 44 indiv. This material is rather rich in species but still awaiting identification.
