ABSTRACT
Aspila pibooni sp. nov. is described and illustrated from Thailand. The species is provisionally assigned to Aspila on the basis of morphological features of the male and female genitalia. Superficially, the new species resembles three Afrotropical species of Cydia (Grapholitini), all of which lack the distinctive coremata and a pair of short projections from the eight sternite that characterize the Grapholita group of genera to which Aspila belongs.

Fourteen species of the lanternfly genus Pyrops Spinola were documented from Thailand during expeditions across the country and from citizen scientists records. The distribution maps of each species are provided, based on the examined material and records from iNaturalist citizen science platform. The species are illustrated and an identification key is also provided. The intraspecific colour variations of P. oculatus (Westwood, 1838) and P. pyrorhynchus (Donovan, 1800) are briefly discussed.

The genus Antaeola has remained monotypic since its description by Diakonoff in 1973. A new species, Antaeola rhinosa sp. nov., is described and illustrated from Thailand. The new species can be distinguished from A. antaea (Meyrick) by facies and features of the male and female genitalia.

Thai rhaphidophorid species of the genus Eurhaphidophora Gorochov 1999 are reviewed. Previously, two species and one subspecies (E. bispina Gorochov 2010; E. pawangkhananti Dawwrueng, Gorochov & Suwannapoom 2020; E. tarasovi doitungensis Dawwrueng, Gorochov & Suwannapoom 2020) were reported from Thailand. In this study, a new additional species (E. apicoexcisa sp. nov.) from Ratchaburi Province is described. Males of this new large-sized species are easily recognized from other males of Eurhaphidophora by an almost straight and lamellar posteromedian process of the ninth abdominal tergite, the presence of a small but rather deep and rounded apical excision on this process, and a long apical part of the epiproct. Females of the new species also can be distinguished from other Thailand congeners by the presence of a small rounded posteromedian projection on the both eighth and ninth abdominal tergites, and a shortly triangular subgenital plate. An updated species catalogue of all known species and taxonomic keys to Thailand Eurhaphidophora species for males and females are provided.
ABSTRACT
Olethreutini fauna in Thailand consists of 171 species belonging to 57 genera. This checklist is based on literature in which Olethreutini species have been described or recorded and identified specimens that were deposited in Kasetsart Kamphaengsaen Insect Collection (KKIC), Thailand. Of those, 36 species still were reported only in Thailand. Five genera (Lipsotelus, Meiligma, Metrioglypha, Prophaecasia, and Psilacantha) are new records for Thailand. Furthermore, 29 species are also recorded from Thailand for the first time.

A new species, Thymioptila clavata Pinkaew sp. nov., is described based on three male specimens collected from Thailand. Thymioptila oedalea (Meyrick) is recorded for the first time from Laos. Raised scale tuft on forewing and dorsoapical claviform process of cucullus are the unique characters for the genus. The illustrations of adults and genitalia of both species are provided. The new taxon increases the number of described Thymioptila species to two.

Temnolopha paucusinota sp. nov. from Thailand is described as new to science. Two specimens, a male and a female were collected in Phu Kheio Wildlife Sanctuary, northeastern Thailand. Due to more complete wing pattern, the female specimen is selected as the holotype. Illustrations of adults and genitalia are provided. An identification key of Thai Temnolopha species is also provided. This new species increases the number of described Temnolopha species to five worldwide.

Three new species of Xenolepis Diakonoff, 1973 are described from Thailand: X. fissurarta Thonongtor & Pinkaew, sp. nov., X. apicula Thonongtor & Pinkaew, sp. nov., and X. cultrata Thonongtor & Pinkaew, sp. nov. The genus was previously known from Indonesia and India, so the new species represent the first records of the genus from Thailand. Illustrations of adults and male genitalia are provided. Females of the genus remain unknown. The new taxa increase the number of described Xenolepis species to five.

The genus Hiroshiinoueana Kawabe, 1978 is recorded for the first time from Thailand. H. partita sp. nov. is described as new to science. The genus Atsusina Razowski, 2009 is treated as a junior synonym of Hiroshiinoueana. Atsusina curiosissima Razowski, 2009 is transferred to Hiroshiinoueana curiosissima (Razowski, 2009), new record for Thailand and redescribed. Female of H. curiosissima is described for the first time. Illustrations of adults and genitalia are provided. These taxa increase the number of described Hiroshiinoueana to 6 species worldwide.

Arria muscoamicta Unnahachote & Shcherbakov, sp. nov. is described based on a male from central Thailand. This is the first record of Arria Stål, 1877 from the country. The new species is closely allied to A. leigongshanensis (Ge & Shen, 2008) from China, differing by the absence of prozonal tubercles, the elongated pronotum, nine tibial anteroventral spines, and the truncated hindwings. The new species is a moss-camouflaging mantis living at high altitude. The taxonomic problems of the genus are briefly discussed.
ABSTRACT
Resin bees of the genus Megachile subgenus Callomegachile sensu lato (Hymenoptera; Megachilidae) from Thailand are reviewed. The 14 species treated include those described or revised in the subgenus Alocanthedon, a junior synonym of Callomegachile (three species), and in Carinula (one species). One new species is described, Megachile chiangmaiensis Chatthanabun and Warrit, sp. nov. The replacement name Megachile parornata Chatthanabun, Warrit and Ascher, nom. nov., is proposed for M. gigas Wu (not Schrottky), which is recorded for the first time outside China. For each species, maps and full label data for the examined material documenting occurrences in Thailand are provided. In addition, global ranges, floral associations, and other life history data are summarized and a key to the Thai species is provided for females.

The genus Theorica Diakonoff, 1966 includes two previously described species that occur in Vietnam (i.e., T. secunda Kuznetsov, 1997) and New Guinea (i.e., T. lamyra (Meyrick, 1911)). We report the first occurrence of this genus in Thailand, represented by a new species: Theorica valuliae Pinkaew, n. sp. In addition to illustrations of the adult and genitalia, we also present photographs of living specimens in their natural resting posture.
