Two new species of black flies, Simulium (Comphostilbia) terengganuense sp. nov. and Simulium (Gomphostilbia) aziruni sp. nov. (Diptera: Simuliidae), are described on the basis of reared adult, pupal, and larval specimens collected from Peninsular Malaysia. Both species are placed in the batoense species-group within the subgenus Gomphostilbia, one of two dominant subgenera of the genus Simulium in Peninsular Malaysia as well as in the Oriental Region. Strikingly, three morphological characteristics that rarely occur in the subgenus Gomphostilbia are found in these two new species: the very narrow female frons and the mushroom-like pupal terminal hooks in S. (G.) terengganuense sp. nov. and the pupal gill composed of an inflated horn-like structure and eight slender filaments in S. (G.) aziruni sp. nov.
两种新的黑蝇，Simulium (Comphostilbia) terengganuense sp. nov. 和 Simulium (Gomphostilbia) aziruni sp. nov.（双翅目：Simuliidae），是根据从马来西亚半岛采集的饲养成虫、蛹和幼虫标本描述的。这两个物种都被放置在亚属 Gomphostilbia 的 batoense 种组中，这是马来西亚半岛以及东洋区 Simulium 属的两个主要亚属之一。值得注意的是，这两个新物种具有三个在亚属 Gomphostilbia 中很少出现的形态特征：非常狭窄的雌性额和蘑菇状的蛹端钩在 S. (G.) terengganuense sp. nov. 中，以及由膨胀的角状结构和八个细长丝组成的蛹鳃在 S. (G.) aziruni sp. nov. 中。
