Abstract

Simulium (Gomphostilbia) merapiense sp. nov. is described based on females, males, pupae, and mature larvae from Yagyakarta, Java, Indonesia. This new species is placed in the Simulium epistum species-group, and is characterized by the pupal gill with eight short filaments all arising at the same level from a short stalk, somewhat enlarged basal fenestra, entirely bare pupal head and thoracic integument, and small and short larval postgenal cleft. These characters rarely are found in the subgenus. Taxonomic notes are given to separate this new species from related species of the S. epistum species-group.

摘要

基于采自印度尼西亚爪哇亚加达的雌虫、雄虫、蛹和成熟幼虫，描述了墨拉比蚋新种（Simulium (Gomphostilbia) merapiense sp. nov.）。这个新物种被归入喙蚋物种组，其特征为蛹鳃有8根短丝，均从短柄的同一水平发出，基部窗孔稍大，蛹的头部和胸部体表完全光秃，幼虫的后颊裂小而短。这些特征在该亚属中很少见。给出了分类学注释，以将这个新物种与喙蚋物种组的相关物种区分开来。
