The long-legged fly genus Hercostomus Loew, 1857 is reported for the first time from mangrove habitats in Thailand. Two new species, H. obtusus sp. nov. and H. squamatus sp. nov. are described based on external morphology and supported by NGS barcoding. Four described species, namely, H. brevicornis Zhang, Yang & Grootaert, 2008, H. brevidigitalis Zhang, Yang & Grootaert, 2008, H. lanceolatus Zhang, Yang & Grootaert, 2008, and H. plumatus Zhang, Yang & Grootaert, 2008, previously known only from Singapore mangroves, are recorded for the first time from Thailand mangroves. In addition, species distributions are mapped and taxonomic notes are provided.
1857年的长脚蝇属赫氏蝇属（Hercostomus Loew）首次在泰国的红树林栖息地被报道。基于外部形态描述了两个新物种，钝赫氏蝇（H. obtusus sp. nov.）和鳞赫氏蝇（H. squamatus sp. nov.），并得到了二代测序条形码的支持。首次从泰国红树林中记录到四个已描述的物种，即2008年张、杨和格罗塔尔特发现的短角赫氏蝇（H. brevicornis）、2008年张、杨和格罗塔尔特发现的短指赫氏蝇（H. brevidigitalis）、2008年张、杨和格罗塔尔特发现的披针赫氏蝇（H. lanceolatus）以及2008年张、杨和格罗塔尔特发现的羽状赫氏蝇（H. plumatus），这些物种此前仅在新加坡红树林中被发现。此外，还绘制了物种分布图并提供了分类学注释。
