Abstract

Previously, the euthyplociid mayfly from Thailand was reported as <i>Polyplocia</i> spp. without designation to any nominal species. In this study, the genus <i>Polyplocia</i> Lestage, 1921 in Thailand was reviewed. Two species are recognized: <i>Polyplociaorientalis</i> Nguyen & Bae, 2003 and <i>P.nebulosa</i> Gonçalves & Peters, 2016. This is the first report of <i>P.nebulosa</i> in Continental Asia. Cytochrome c oxidase subunit I (COI) data and illustrations based on nymphal characters were used to confirm two different species in Thailand. Additional morphological characteristics of the nymph and eggs of the two species from Thailand are also shown in detail. The taxonomic status of <i>Polyplocia</i> in the Oriental region is reviewed. Keys to known nymphal and imaginal stages are provided and the distribution of <i>Polyplocia</i> in the Oriental region is discussed.
