The dipteran fauna in a mangrove forest at the mouth of the Bangpakong River in Thailand was sampled at intervals of approximately two weeks throughout one year. Samples were collected during the hours of daylight and darkness. A total of 390 samples were examined, in which 73 species were identified representing 3 suborders, 18 superfamilies, 32 families and 32 genera. Diversity of these insects was greatest for mosquitoes and punkies with 14 and 11 species respectively present. The importance of these taxa to medicine, veterinary and forestry was discussed.
