A New Species and New Records of the Dobsonfly Genus Protohermes van der Weele, 1907 (Megaloptera: Corydalidae: Corydalinae) from Thailand
The dobsonfly genus Protohermes van der Weele, 1907 is the most diverse genus within the family Corydalidae of the order Megaloptera. In the present study, we describe a new species of Protohermes, namely Protohermes sirindhornae Piraonapicha, Chomphuphuang & Liu, sp. nov., and report three additional species newly recorded from Thailand: P. cangyuanensis Yang & Yang, 1988, P. impunctatus Liu, Hayashi & Yang, 2008, and P. striatulus Navás, 1926. These findings are based on an integrative approach that combines both morphological and molecular data. A key to the males of Thai Protohermes species is provided.
