Material examined. 0/1/0, rice field, Yasothon Province , Thailand , 15° 44.688ʹ N, 104° 13.244ʹ E, 24-x-2010 ; 1/2/0, Nong Oep Oe reservoir, Ban Dua , Nong Khai Province , 17° 59ʹ 5.12ʺ N 102° 57ʹ 42.70ʺ E, 30-i-2011 . Remarks . Wen & Zhu (2001) described Limnesia microplatus , and compared it with L. patens Viets, 1935 . However, their species is similar to L. volzi in the size, shape of genital field and palp. It matches the description given by Piersig (1906) and Lundblad (1969) , and we therefore propose to synonymize L. microplatus with L. volzi . The species is known from Sumatra , Malaysia , China and reported here for the first time from Thailand .
