Abstract

Field sampling was performed at 17 locations within 14 provinces in Thailand by hand collection from January 2008 to July 2011 and resulted in the collection of three distinct species of Oligotoma— namely, O. humbertiana (Saussure, 1896), O. nigra (Hagen, 1885) and O. saundersii (Westwood, 1837)—that are new records for Thailand. Details of the important morphological characteristics of the female were added and illustrated. Identifi cation keys to the three species, for both male and female adults, were compiled and the geographic distributions of the three species in this genus in Thailand were also mapped.
