A new subspecies within the Simulium damnosum complex is described from the Lualaba river, East Zaire, on the basis of polytene chromosome analysis and larval morphology, under the name Simulium (Edwardsellum) squamosum kitetense ssp. n. Chromosomally it is most similar to S. squamosum, from which it differs by three new fixed inversions. Morphological differences include a reduced number of rays on the premandibular fans, the particular aspect of the combs on those rays, and the general colour of the body which is a very light yellow. A second population from a nearby river was morphologically and chromosomally quite different, although more samples are needed to clarify its taxonomic position.
基于多线染色体分析和幼虫形态学，在东扎伊尔的卢阿拉巴河发现了一种新的蚋类复合体亚种，命名为蚋属（爱德华蚋亚属）鳞状蚋基特亚种（新亚种）。在染色体方面，它与鳞状蚋最为相似，但有三个新的固定倒位与之不同。形态学差异包括下颌前扇上的射线数量减少、这些射线上梳的特殊形态以及身体的总体颜色为非常浅的黄色。来自附近河流的第二个种群在形态学和染色体方面有很大差异，不过需要更多样本才能明确其分类地位。
