description: Family Sididae   Diaphanosoma dubium Manuilova, 1964. Common in ponds and reservoirs, rarely in rivers. Widespread in South- East and East Asia, distributed north up to the Amur River basin. For more information see Korovchinsky (1992, 2004) and Korovchinsky and Sanoamuang (2008).   
 Diaphanosoma excisum Sars, 1885. In all types of water bodies, but most common in ponds, usually rather abundant. Widely distributed in tropics and subtropics of Eastern Hemisphere, eurytopic, often dominates communities. For detailed description see Korovchinsky (2004).   
 Diaphanosoma macrophtalma Korovchinsky & Mirabdulaev, 1995. Encountered once in small reservoir (loc. 56) in spring. Central and East Asia from Uzbekistan to Japan, penetrating south to North-East Thailand (Korovchinsky & Sanoamuang 2008a). For description see Korovchinsky et Mirabdulaev (1995) and Korovchinsky (2004).   
 Diaphanosoma orghidani transamurensis Korovchinsky, 1986. Encountered in two reservoirs (loc. 27, 34, 51) and a dammed river (loc. 49) in spring. East Asian subspecies, distributed from Amur basin to Philippines. For description see Korovchinsky (1992, 2004). D. orghidani Negrea, 1982 was previously recorded for Hainan by Li et al. (2011), these records probably belong to D. o. transamurensis as well, nominative subspecies D. o. orghidani is not recorded in East Asia (Korovchinsky 2004).   
 Diaphanosoma sarsi Richard, 1894. In reservoirs, ponds and paddy fields, not common. Widely distributed in tropics and subtropics of the Eastern Hemisphere. For morphological description and characters of its distribution in Thailand, see Korovchinsky (1992) and Korovchinsky and Sanoamuang (2008a).   
 Diaphanosoma tropicum Koprovchinsky, 1998. Encountered in winter only, in one reservoir (loc. 27) and in one pond (loc. 31); rather numerous. Rare Oriental species, known from South India, Sri Lanka, Malaysia, Thailand, Philippines, and Hubei Province of China (Korovchinsky 1998). For description, see Korovchinsky (2004).   
 Latonopsis australis Sars, 1888. Encountered in the littoral of one reservoir (loc. 22) in winter. The species was described from Australia, it is presumed to be pantropical, but is probably a species complex (Korovchinsky, 2004). Rather common in tropical Asia (Korovchinsky 2004, 2013).   
 Pseudosida szalayi Daday, 1898. Encountered in two paddy fields (loc. 40, 43) in spring. Paleotropical species, rather common in tropical Asia. Phytophilous species. For more detailed description, see Korovchinsky (2010).   
 Sida ortiva Korovchinsky, 1979. Uncommon, encounterd in reservoirs, ponds and rivers in both seasons. East Asian species, distributed from East Siberia to Bangladesh and South Vietnam (Korovchinsky, 2004). Records of Sida crystallina (O. F. Müller, 1776) from East China (Chiang & Du 1979) probably all belong to S. ortiva instead (see Korvchinsky 2004). For description see Korovchinsky (2004), and Kotov et al. (2012).
