Abstract

We provide the first record of the genus Lepidiella Enderlein, 1937 from the Oriental Region with the description of Lepidiella limicornissp. nov., based on two male specimens collected in Thailand. Additionally, we provide a list of the world species of Lepidiella and discuss the diagnosis and taxonomic placement of the genus.
