Abstract

Three new species of Ptilomera (P. jariyae, P. kra, and P. tennaserim) were collected from mountain streams in western and southern Thailand, and they are described and illustrated herein. These new species bring the number of described species of this genus in Thailand to seven. In addition, the winged form of P. fang Polhemus is described. Diagnoses for males and females are provided for all seven species occurring in Thailand, along with distributional records and maps.
