Dendrochronological Investigations in Thailand

Some of the first tree-ring chronologies from mainland Southeast Asia have been developed from Thailand, and a significant link between climate and tree growth has been suggested. Four chronologies from two species of pine (Pinus kesiya Royle ex Gordon and Pinus merkusii Jungh. ' de Vriese) from northeastern, lower northern and northwestern Thailand have been constructed: three from P. kesiya and one from P. merkusii. A second P. merkusii chronology is being developed from samples from northwestern Thailand. Preliminary climate modelling demonstrates significant relationships for tree growth with both temperature and precipitation for both species. A significant, direct relationship is revealed with temperature at the beginning of the wet season for Pinus merkusii from Thung Salaeng Luang National Park, along with an inverse relationship with precipitation for the same period. It is also suggested that the month of November (the transitional month from wet to dry season) during the year of growth is most important for Pinus kesiya from Nam Nao National Park, based on significant, direct relationships with both temperature and precipitation. The dendrochronological potential of another species, the long-lived Podocarpus neriifolius, is also discussed

STUDIES ON MEDICALLY IMPORTANT FLIES IN THAILAND V. ON 32 SPECIES BELONGING TO THE SUBFAMILIES MUSCINAE AND STOMOXYINAE INCLUDING THE TAXONOMIC KEYS (DIPTERA: MUSCIDAE)

Flies from different geographical parts of Thailand were collected to study their medical importance as well as making a zoogeographical study. After examination, 32 species of 10 genera, Orthellza, Mitroplatia, Morellia, Pyrellia, Rypellia, Haematobia, Haematobosca, Stygeromyia, Haematostoma and Stomoxys, belonging to Muscidae were identified and these are reported in this paper. Some of these are newly recorded ones from this country. This study is based on the specimens available in the authors’ collection

STUDIES ON MEDICALLY IMPORTANT FLIES IN THAILAND VI. REPORT ON 48 SPECIES OF SARCOPHAGID FLIES, INCLUDING THE TAXONOMIC KEYS (DIPTERA: SARCOPHAGIDAE)

Flies from different geographical parts of Thailand were collected to study their medical importance as well as to make a zoogeographical study. After examination, 48 species of 19 genera, Kanomyia, Hosarcophaga, Blaesoxipha, Bercaea, Boettcherisca, Fengia, Lioproctia, Parasarcophaga, Phallosphaera, Rosellea, Sarcorohdendorfia, Sarcosolomonia, Sinonipponia, Pierretia, Thyrsocnema, Phytosarcophaga, Harpagophalla, Seniorwhitea, and Leucomyia belonging to Sarcophagidae were identified and those are reported in this paper. This study is based on the specimens available in the authors’ collection

STUDIES ON MEDICALLY IMPORTANT FLIES IN THAILAND. III. Report of Species Belonging to the Genus Musca Linné, Including the Taxonomic Key (Diptera: Muscidae)

Twenty species belonging to the genus Musca Linné are reported from Tailand with taxonomic key. This study is based on the specimens available in the authors\u27 collection and 8 species are the new records from this country. The newly recorded species are Musca interrupta pilifacies, M. lucens, M. fasciata, M. pattoni, M. planiceps, M. xanthomelas, M. bezzii and M. convexifrons

STUDIES ON MEDICALLY IMPORTANT FLIES IN THAILAND II. RECORD OF FOUR SPECIES OF LUCILIA ROBINEAU-DESVOIDY (Diptera: Calliphoridae)

As for the genus Lucilia, only one species, Lucilia papuensis Macquart, has been recorded by R. Senior-White et al. in Thailand. During our survey in Thailand in 1975, we found newly 3 more species belonging to the genus Lucilia. These are L. cuprina (Wiedemann), L. porphyrina (Walker) and L. sinensis Aubertin. The female of L. sinensis has never been reported. Therefore, the female genitalia of L. sinensis are illustrated in this paper and compared with those of L. papuensis. The male genitalia of L. sinensis and L. papuensis are also illustrated in this paper

STUDIES ON MEDICALLY IMPORTAN T FLIES IN THAILAND. I. Discovery of Calliphora Species First in Thailand (Diptera: Calliphoridae)

Species of flies, Calliphora vomitoria (Linné) and C. pattoni Aubertin, four for the first time in Thailand are reported, together with detailed illustrations of genitalia. These are known to be Palearctic species, which are commonly found in Europe or northern parts of Asia. These flies were found in Doi Inthanon, the highest mountain in Thailand, which belongs to the Oriental region

STUDIES ON MEDICALLY IMPORTANT FLIES IN THAILAND. IV. Altitudinal Distribution of Flies Belonging to Muscidae and Calliphoridae in Doi Indhanondh Mountain, Chiengmai, in Early Summer Season

The study on the altitudinal distribution of muscid and calliphorid flies was firstly carried out in the Doi Indhanondh mountain in March 1976. Twenty-eight species of muscid and calliphorid flies, belonging to 10 genera, were collected in this study. The calliphorid flies were classified into 7 genera and 19 species (2,442 individuals) and the muscid flies were classified into 3 genera and 9 species (1,061 individuals). The data and figures are shown in this paper

STUDIES ON MEDICALLY IMPORTANT FLIES IN THAILAND VII. REPORT ON 42 SPECIES OF CALLIPHORID FLIES, INCLUDING THE TAXONOMIC KEYS (DIPTERA: CALLIPHORIDAE)

The calliphorid flies collected from different localities in Thailand were examined to study their medical importance as well as to study from the zoogeographical standpoint of view. Fourty-two species of 15 genera, Bengalia，Calliphora, Catapicephala, Chrysomya, Hemipyrellia, Hypopygiopsis, Lucilia, Melinda, Onesia，Phumosia，Pollenia, Polleniopsis, Tainanina, Tricycleopsis and Verticia belonging to both the subfamilies Calliphorinae and Chrysomyinae were found in Thailand. Many species are newly recorded from this country. The little known species, which are redescribed in detail with the illustration of the male genitalia and female ovipositors, and the key, which is revised to the gene1a and species, are also presented in this paper
