In recent decades, the numbers of cryptic taxa have increased significantly with current progress in DNA barcoding, yet, most of these cryptic taxa have not been formally named and recognized as valid species. To address this issue, we provide a guide for applying the procedure of describing new cryptic species in the family Simuliidae. Simulium (Simulium) vanluni from Pahang, Peninsular Malaysia, previously treated as S. nobile De Meijere, is described as a new species by using an integrated morpho-taxonomical and genetic approach. This new species is morphologically identical to S. nobile from Java and S. kiuliense Smart & Clifford from Borneo, but their distinctiveness is supported by an expanded multigene phylogeny analysis.
近几十年来，随着DNA条形码技术的不断发展，隐性分类群的数量显著增加，然而，这些隐性分类群中的大多数尚未被正式命名并确认为有效物种。为了解决这一问题，我们提供了一份指南，用于描述蚋科新隐性物种的程序。来自马来西亚半岛彭亨州的范氏蚋（Simulium (Simulium) vanluni），以前被视为高贵蚋（S. nobile De Meijere），通过综合形态分类学和遗传学方法被描述为一个新物种。这个新物种在形态上与来自爪哇的高贵蚋以及来自婆罗洲的基氏蚋（S. kiuliense Smart & Clifford）相同，但通过扩展的多基因系统发育分析支持了它们的独特性。
