SCIARIDAE

The CDO (STEFFAN 1973) listed nine species of six genera from Thailand. Of them, SASAKAWA (1962) described five species from the country, namely Bradysia thailandina SASAKAWA, 1962 (p. 129), Bradysia umesaoi SASAKAWA, 1962 (p. 132), Chaetosciara ikomai ( SASAKAWA, 1962) (p. 126), Chaetosciara minuta ( SASAKAWA, 1962) (p. 127) and Lobosciara spinipennis ( SASAKAWA, 1962) (p. 130). The other species listed in the CDO are Chaetosciara lygropis (EDWARDS, 1928) , Schwenkfeldina carbonaria ( MEIGEN, 1830) , Sciara palliceps EDWARDS, 1928 and Trichosia rufithorax (VAN DER WULP, 1881) .

When revising Prosciara FREY, HIPPA & VILKAMAA (1991) summarized 36 spp., of which 25 were described (listed) from Burma and Thailand. KJAERANDSEN (1994) described P. didactyla (p. 147) and recorded P. megachaeta HIPPA &

VILKAMAA, 1991 from Thailand. In their revision of the Indomalayan spp. of Prosciara, VILKAMAA & HIPPA (1996) described 48 spp. incl. a number of spp. also from Thailand (see in the original paper).

Although our material is rather numerous (95 + 53 indiv), and seemingly rich in species, for lack of expertise, we did not try to sort them even to genera.
