Two new species of black flies, Simulium (Gomphostilbia) roslihashimisp. n. and Simulium (Gomphostilbia) lurauensesp. n., are described on the basis of reared adult, pupal and larval specimens collected from Peninsular Malaysia. These two new species are placed in the ceylonicum species-group within the subgenus Gomphostilbia. Simulium (Gomphostilbia) roslihashimisp. n. is most distinctive with the male having almost entirely yellow antennae, and Simulium (Gomphostilbia) lurauensesp. n. is characterized in the female by having the elongate sensory vesicle and the yellowish-white hairs on the base of the costal vein and on the stem vein, in the male by the greater number of large upper-eye facets and the spindle-shaped hind basitarsi which are much narrower than the hind tibiae and femora and in the pupa by the small terminal hooks. Keys to species of the ceylonicum species-group reported from Peninsular Malaysia are provided for females, males, pupae and mature larvae.
基于从马来西亚半岛采集并饲养的成虫、蛹和幼虫标本,描述了两种新的蚋属物种,即罗氏哈希米蚋(Simulium (Gomphostilbia) roslihashimisp. n.)和卢劳蚋(Simulium (Gomphostilbia) lurauensesp. n.)。这两个新物种被归入Gomphostilbia亚属的ceylonicum物种组。罗氏哈希米蚋最为独特,其雄性触角几乎全为黄色;卢劳蚋的特征在于,雌性的感觉囊细长,前缘脉基部和干脉上有黄白色毛,雄性有更多的大型复眼上小眼面,以及纺锤形的后基跗节,后基跗节比后胫节和后股节窄得多,蛹则有小的末端钩。文中提供了马来西亚半岛报道的ceylonicum物种组雌性、雄性、蛹和成熟幼虫的检索表。
