PSYCHODIDAE

In the CDO (LEWIS 1973) two spp. of Phlebotomus and four spp. of Sergentomyia were listed under Phlebotomidae . Sergentomyia siamensis CAUSEY, 1968 (p. 488) was described from Thailand, but that proved to be a junior synonym of S. barraudi (SINTON, 1929) . No record of Psychodidae s. str. was given in the CDO from that country. In his revision of the Oriental phlebotomine sandflies, LEWIS (1978) described Sergentomyia jamesi (p. 300), S. mahadevani (p. 301) and recorded several spp. also from Thailand (see there). APIWATHNASORN et al. (1989) record eight spp. as new to Thailand, APIWATHNASORN et al. (1993) published additional data of the Phlebotominae spp.

In 2004 we captured 1 indiv. of Phlebotomi/nae/dae and 24 indiv. of Psychodidae s.str. and 13 indiv. in 2003. Due to lack of expertise, we did not try to identify them.
