摘要: The unique congregating synchronous flashing firefly genus Pteroptyx Olivier has long provided economic benefits for many Southeast Asian countries as an ecotourism icon. Seventeen species of have been identified to date. However, a survey diversity and distribution this never thoroughly conducted in Thailand. During 2012–2015, several surveys were carried out assess the throughout mangrove estuary areas Using both classical morphological examination DNA data, four identified. In combination with specimens examined from museum collections, we report herein most recent assessment Thailand, new country record asymmetria Ballantyne. This study will complement enhance development conservation plan sustainable Thailand other region.
