Topomyia Uuayamyia) houghtoni Feng, known previously only from China, has now been collected from Peninsular Malaysia, which constitutes a new record. The original description of this species, made in Chinese, is not readily available. A redescription is made of the adult female and male, pupa and larva and full illustrations are provided of the male genitalia, the pupal and the larval stages. Topomyia houghtoni occurs in rain forests in mountains and foothills and breeds in the leaf axils of AZocasia and CoZocasia.
