Surveys of pupae and larvae of black flies were carried out in Bali, Lombok, Sumbawa and Flores in the Lesser Sunda Archipelago, Indonesia, where 10 species were known. A total of 14 simuliid species including four new species and five new records of the genus Simulium were collected, bringing the number of species from the Lesser Sunda Archipelago to 19. They are classified into four subgenera: two in Nevermannia, nine in Gomphostilbia, seven in Simulium and one in Wallacellum. One of four new species, Simulium (Simulium) baliense, is described based on females, males, pupae and larvae from Bali and Lombok. This new species, which is placed in the Simulium striatum species-group of the subgenus Simulium, is closely related to S. (S.) argyrocinctum De Meijere from Java and Sumatra, but it is distinguished from the latter species by the smaller number of the male enlarged upper-eye facets and larval abdomen lacking dorsal pairs of conical protuberances. The distribution record of S. (S.) upikae Takaoka & Davies from Flores is corrected as that of S. (S.) eximium De Meijere. Some aberrant characters of the pupal gill filaments of S. (G.) atratum De Meijere, S. (G.) floresense Takaoka, Hadi & Sigit and S. (G.) sunapii Takaoka, Sofian-Azirun & Suana are illustrated. Characteristics of the fauna of black flies in this archipelago are briefly noted. Keys to all 19 species are provided for females, males, pupae and larvae.
在印度尼西亚小巽他群岛的巴厘岛、龙目岛、松巴哇岛和弗洛雷斯岛开展了蚋蛹和幼虫调查，已知当地有10种蚋。共采集到14种蚋科物种，包括4个新物种和5个新记录种，使小巽他群岛的蚋科物种数量增至19种。它们分为4个亚属：Nevermannia亚属有2种，Gomphostilbia亚属有9种，Simulium亚属有7种，Wallacellum亚属有1种。基于来自巴厘岛和龙目岛的雌虫、雄虫、蛹和幼虫，描述了4个新物种之一的巴厘蚋（Simulium (Simulium) baliense）。这个新物种隶属于Simulium亚属的纹蚋物种组，与来自爪哇和苏门答腊的银带蚋（S. (S.) argyrocinctum De Meijere）关系密切，但与后者的区别在于雄虫扩大的上眼小面数量较少，且幼虫腹部没有背侧成对的圆锥形瘤。弗洛雷斯岛的优皮卡蚋（S. (S.) upikae Takaoka & Davies）的分布记录被更正为优美蚋（S. (S.) eximium De Meijere）。展示了暗黑蚋（S. (G.) atratum De Meijere）、弗洛雷斯蚋（S. (G.) floresense Takaoka, Hadi & Sigit）和苏纳蚋（S. (G.) sunapii Takaoka, Sofian-Azirun & Suana）蛹鳃丝的一些异常特征。简要记录了该群岛蚋类动物群的特征。提供了所有19个物种的雌虫、雄虫、蛹和幼虫的检索表。
