Several thousand specimens of Psychodidae were recently collected during a survey of the lotic aquatic insects of Thailand. Fifteen genera are reported from Thailand, including fourteen new country records. A key to adult males of known Thai Psychodidae is provided. The genera Neoarisemus Botosaneanu & Vaillant and Panimerus Eaton are
