A new simuliid species, Simulium kalimantanense sp. nov., is described on the basis of females, males, pupae, and mature larvae from East Kalimantan, Indonesia, and is assigned to the Simulium banauense species-group of Simulium (Gomphostilbia). This new species has close similarities to S alienigenum Takaoka from the Philippines, in many characters including the adult antennal color pattern and pupal gill with four long filaments arranged in two pairs each bearing a long stalk, but is distinguished from the latter in the female by the longer sensory vesicle and in the pupa by the gill with an elongate common basal stalk. Simulium kalimantanense sp. nov. is the first member of the S. banauense group in Borneo, and marks the most southerly distribution of the group. Keys to identify 19 Bornean species of the subgenus Gomphostilbia are provided.
基于来自印度尼西亚东加里曼丹的雌虫、雄虫、蛹和成熟幼虫,描述了一种新的蚋科物种——加里曼丹蚋(Simulium kalimantanense sp. nov.),并将其归入蚋属(Simulium)(Gomphostilbia亚属)的巴瑙蚋物种组。该新物种在许多特征上与来自菲律宾的异域蚋(Simulium alienigenum Takaoka)极为相似,包括成虫触角颜色模式和具有四根长丝的蛹鳃,这四根长丝两两成对排列,每对带有一个长柄,但在雌虫方面,它与后者的区别在于感觉泡更长,在蛹方面的区别在于鳃具有一个细长的共同基部柄。加里曼丹蚋(Simulium kalimantanense sp. nov.)是婆罗洲巴瑙蚋组的首个成员,标志着该组分布的最南端。文中提供了鉴定Gomphostilbia亚属19种婆罗洲蚋的检索表。
