Literature records. SYRIA (Morice, 1901).
Distribution. Greece to eastern Turkey and southern Turkey to the Levant (Syria, Lebanon, Jordan, Israel and Palestine).
Pollen hosts. Probably oligolectic on Fabaceae with a distinct or even exclusive preference for Trifolium: all 13 pollen loads (9 localities, 4 countries) analyzed so far exclusively consisted of Trifolium pollen. Flower record: Trifolium repens (label record).
Nesting biology. Three females were observed to close the entrance of nests of the pollen wasp species Ceramius palaestinensis (Giordani Soika) (Vespidae) with mud (Mauss et al., 2010), suggesting that preexisting burrows in the ground serve as nesting sites.
Note. The record of Hoplitis lysholmi from Andalucia (Jaen, Cambil) given by Zanden (1996) refers to Hoplitis teucrii (Benoist).

Distribution. Eastern Turkey and Syria to southwestern Iran.
Pollen hosts. Probably oligolectic on Fabaceae with a distinct preference for Hedysareae: all 15 pollen loads (3 localities, 1 country) analyzed so far exclusively consisted of Fabaceae pollen; among these, 13 loads as well as one brood cell only contained Hedysareae pollen.
Nesting biology. One brood cell was found about 5cm deep in a preexisting insect burrow in rather loamy ground (C. Praz and C. Sedivy, personal communication; Fig. 9). The urn-shaped cell, which had a length of about 11mm, consisted entirely of chewed green leaves, without admixture of sand or pebbles. However, the cell was over much of its length directly attached to the walls of the insect burrow so that it could not be removed from the burrow without damaging it. About 1mm below the cell, a partition of chewed leaves was built, separating the cell from the lower part of the burrow.

Body length 12.5–15mm ............................... Hoplitis tigrina
1* Lower margin of third antennal segment slightly projecting basally. Basal zone of propodeum polished. Tarsal segments 2–4 of middle leg distinctly asymmetric, lateroapically prolonged into rounded spine-like process. Tergum 6 with short rounded lateral tooth and medioapically with short longitudinal keel. Lateral tooth of tergum 7 poorly developed, much shorter than middle tooth, which is distinctly keeled longitudinally and shorter than the maximal width at its base. Tergal discs covered with yellowish-brown hairs, which are longer than the yellowish-white hairs that form the rather indistinct apical hair bands. Medioapical process of sternum 6 covered with long hairs on its ventral side (Fig. 12). Apex of gonoforceps densely haired, penis valve laterally ciliated with long hairs. Body length 18mm ................................ Hoplitis bombiformis

description: Maruina Müller, 1895
Maruina Müller, 1895: 479. Type species: Maruina pilosella Müller, by subsequent designation (Enderlein, 1936). Extensive subsequent citations are given in Quate (1955) and Hogue (1973). Additional citations: Duckhouse, 1966: 153; Cole, 1969: 71; Duckhouse, 1973: 8 (catalog); Hogue, 1990: 185; Bravo & Lago, 2003: 395; Bravo, 2004: 1; Bravo, 2005: 639; Bravo & Araújo, 2018: 189.
Trichomyia, Haseman (nec Haliday), 1907: 323; Rapp, 1944: 209.
Diagnosis. Only known to occur in the Western Hemisphere. Larvae. Dorsoventrally compressed with a longitudinal row of eight suctorial discs ventrally; inhabiting madicolous habitats, streams and shallow rivers. Pupa. Dorsoventrally compressed with abdominal segments much wider than long, longer laterally than in the midline, terminal segment nearly circular. Adults. Antenna with 13–14 fusiform flagellomeres with digitiform ascoids shorter than the flagellomeres in which it is inserted; wings long (at least 4X longer than wide) and narrow (maximum width less than 2X width at base) with acute apex; aedeagus in most species set with with a group of longitudinal sclerotized spines internally; male epandrial appendage with a single tenaculum inserted at apex.
Remarks. Previously only Maruina (Maruina) lanceolata was known to have 13, rather than 14 flagellomeres. Here we describe three other species with this character state, one belonging to M. (Maruina) and two in M. (Aculcina).

Maruina pilosella; Barreto, 1954: 64 (misidentification).
Diagnosis. Combination of the following characters: R 5 connected to M 1 at base; anterior aedeagal spines thin and not reaching the apical 1/3 of aedeagus, posterior spines thick, numerous and strongly sclerotized.
Material examined. Type material: paratype: ♂ BRAZIL, São Paulo, Rancharia, Usina Caiuá (type locality), viii.1940, col. M. Barretto (MZFS); Paratype ♀ same data. Other material: 2 ♀, 13 ♂ BRAZIL, Santa Catarina, São Joaquim, Rio Pelotas (#9), 28°28’46.5”S; 50°04’27.1”W, 853m. a.n.m. 21.viii.2013, col. Hamada, N., Nascimento, J.M.C. & Fusari, L. (INPA).
Distribution. Brazil (São Paulo, Santa Catarina).
Remarks. Bravo (2005) provided a differential diagnosis for M. (M.) barrettoi and M. (M.) pilosella based on the drawings of male terminalia of Müller (1895). We include here, complete illustrations of the male and female head (Figs. 24–25), an illustration of the wing, showing the connection between vein R 5 and M 1 (Fig. 26) and a detailed illustration of female hypogynium, showing the internal lateral bristles (Figs. 27–28). The connection of veins R 5 and M 1 is found in both males and females, but this can vary from a well delimited to a faint connection.

description: Maruina (Maruina) pilosella Müller nomen dubium
Maruina (Maruina) pilosella Müller, 1895: 30.
Remarks. This species was designated by Enderlein (1936) as type-species of Maruina. The description of Müller (1895) lacks detailed morphological descriptions and illustrations, making it difficult to provide a diagnosis for this species. The material studied in the redescription provided by Barretto (1954) is currently the type material of M. (M.) barrettoi, as discussed above (Bravo 2005). The holotype of this species seems to be lost. Müllers’s illustrations of dorsal view of head and thoracic segments of the larva, detail of respiratory horn of pupa in three views, adult wing, and dorsal and lateral views of male genitalia could be able to help identify new material of this species, but type locality is not accurate.
Type locality: probably Santa Catarina (Hogue 1973).

description: Subfamily Eotrechinae
Members of this subfamily are characterized by a body length of 3–11 mm, first antennal segment with preapical spine-like hairs, pronotal lobe of apterous form reduced, and claws inserted apically or close to apex (Chen et al. 2005). In Thailand, Amemboa generally is found at the margins of streams, muddy tire ruts, and rock pools, whereas Onychotrechus and Eotrechus are generally found on vertical rock faces of waterfalls (Vitheepradit 2008). Further, Onychotrechus is found close to water on vertical rock faces, whereas Eotrechus tends to occur in drier areas of the rock faces. During the dry season in northern Thailand, Onychotrechus esakii Andersen was found on emergent rocks and rocks at the margin of streams with the waterfalls almost completely dry (AV pers. obs).

description: Genus Amemboa Esaki
Figs. 3, 8–35
This genus is distributed in Asia from India to the Philippines (Polhemus & Andersen 1984, Zettel et al. 2007) and was revised by Polhemus and Andersen (1984) with a key for 23 species requiring male specimens. Later, 11 more species were described from Southeast Asia (Zettel 1995, 1998, 2002; Zettel & Chen 1996, 1997; Zettel et al. 2007). Including two species reported here from Thailand for the first time, the Thai fauna contains 15 known species of Amemboa, more than that of any other country in Indochina (Zettel 1996, Chen & Zettel 1998a, Zettel 2002, Vitheepradit 2008). Mostly, members of this genus in Thailand are found resting at the margins of rock pools, puddles, and streams. Moreover, they are one of few gerromorphans that are found in temporary mud puddles in Thailand. When they are pursued, they usually jump further onto the water surface to escape (Polhemus & Andersen 1984). The genus is represented by two subgenera, Amemboa and Amemboides (Polhemus & Andersen 1984). Members of the subgenus Amemboa have the first segment of the middle tarsus about twice as long as the second segment, whereas members of subgenus Amemboides have the first segment distinctly less than twice as long as the second segment (Polhemus & Andersen 1984). Six species of the subgenus Amemboa and two species of the subgenus Amemboides were collected in the Phetchabun Mountains. Diagnoses are provided for comparisons among males only within each subgenus. Amemboa incurvata Polhemus & Andersen and A. laotica Zettel are reported from Thailand for the first time.

Figs. 8, 22
Amemboa (Amemboa) aquafrigida Zettel and Chen 1997: Ann. Hist.-Natur. Mus. Nat. Hung. 94−96.
Diagnosis. Males of A. aquafrigida have a proctiger with two pairs of caudally directed projections and a round tip (Fig. 22). Further, the male profemur has three distinct hair patches (Fig. 8), whereas A. javanica Lundblad has a single hair patch and A. brevifasciata, A. cristata, and A. riparia each have two hair patches. Males of A. aquafrigida have the proximal hair patch smaller than the other patches, whereas in A. speciosa it is more than twice as large as the other patches.
Discussion. Amemboa aquafrigida is known only from Thailand and has been recorded from Nam Nao NP in Phetchabun and Chaiyaphum provinces (Zettel & Chen 1997, Chen et al. 2006). In this study, this species was collected from rock pools and margins of streams in Nam Nao NP and Na Haew NP. Thus, this species appears to be endemic to the upper part of the Phetchabun Mountain Range. This species occurred synoptically with A. velaris in the stream behind the visitor center in Nam Nao NP and with A. riparia in a rock pool above Tahd Heuang International Waterfall in Na Haew NP.

Amemboa (Amemboa) brevifasciata Miyamoto 1967: Nat. Life Southeast Asia 236.
Diagnosis. Males of A. brevifasciata have a triangular pygophore in ventral view (Fig. 24). with a knob-like tip projecting dorsocaudad. Further, the male profemur has two distinct hair patches (Fig. 10), whereas A. javanica has a single hair patch and A. aquafrigida and A. speciosa each have three hair patches. Males of A. brevifasciata have an unmodified proximal half of the profemur, whereas A. cristata and A. riparia each have a proximally incrassate profemur.
Discussion. Amemboa brevifasciata has been recorded from China, Indonesia, Malaysia, Singapore, Thailand, and Vietnam (Polhemus & Andersen 1984; Zettel & Chen 1996, 1997; Zettel et al. 2007). In Thailand, this species has been collected previously from Loei, Nakhon Nayok, Phitsanulok, and Ubon Ratchathani provinces (Miyamoto 1967, Polhemus & Andersen 1984, Hanboonsong et al. 1996, Zettel & Chen 1997, Vitheepradit 2000). In this study, this species was collected from the margins and pools of streams almost throughout the Phetchabun Mountain Range.

Figs. 11, 25
Amemboa (Amemboa) cristata Polhemus and Andersen 1984: Steenstrupia 95−97.
Diagnosis. Males of A. cristata have the pygophore with a pair of large posterolateral lobes and a bifid tip (Fig. 25). Further, the male profemur has two elongate hair patches (Fig. 11), whereas A. javanica has a single hair patch and A. aquafrigida and A. speciosa each have three hair patches. Males of A. cristata have a proximally incrassate profemur, whereas A. brevifasciata has an unmodified proximal half of the profemur. Males of A. cristata lack a mid-ventral profemoral tumescence beyond the proximal hair patch, whereas A. riparia has a well-developed tumescence.
Discussion. Amemboa cristata has been recorded from China, Malaysia, Thailand, and Vietnam (Polhemus & Andersen 1984, Zettel et al. 2007). In Thailand, this species has been collected previously from Chaiyaphum, Chiang Mai, Kanchanaburi, Krabi, Lampang, Mae Hong Son, Phetchabun, Phrae, Sara Buri, and Satun provinces (Polhemus & Andersen 1984, Zettel & Chen 1997, Vitheepradit 2000). In this study, this species was collected at the margin of streams throughout the mountain range.

Amemboa (Amemboa) javanica Lundblad 1933: Arch. Hydrobiol. Suppl. 405.
Diagnosis. Males of A. javanica have the pygophore with a truncate tip (Fig. 28). Further, the male profemur of A. javanica can be distinguished from those of consubgeners known from the Phetchabun Mountain Range by having only a single hair patch (Fig. 14), whereas males of the other species have either two or three distinct hair patches.
Discussion. Amemboa javanica has been recorded from Indonesia, Laos, Malaysia, Thailand, and Vietnam (Polhemus & Andersen 1984; Zettel & Chen 1996, 1997; Cheng et al. 2001; Zettel et al. 2007). In Thailand, this species has been collected from Chiang Mai, Kanchanaburi, Khon Kaen, Phetchabun, Phetchaburi, Phrae, Prachin Buri, and Saraburi provinces (Polhemus & Andersen 1984; Vitheepradit 2000). In the Phetchabun Mountain Range, this species was collected from the margins of streams and rock pools.
Material examined. THAILAND: Loei Province: Phu Kradung NP, Nam Pong, 16°48'N 101°41'E, 251 m, 4- V-2004, A.
