Genus Rhithrogena Eaton, 1881 View in CoL Figs 2A5 B–D

Remarks.

The genus Rhithrogena is the most diverse in the Holarctic, with numerous species also in the Palaearctic Asia. However, it seems to be under-representedinSoutheast Asia. Braasch and Boonsoong (2009) described Rhithrogena siamensis Braasch & Boonsoong, 2009 from northern Thailand, this species also occurs in the northeastern and western parts of Thailand. Only two further species of the genus can be found in this area: Rhithrogena parva Ulmer, 1939 from Taiwan ( Ulmer 1912) and Rhithrogena diehliana Braasch & Soldán, 1986 from Sumatra ( Braasch and Soldán 1986c).
