Two new species of black flies, Simulium (Simulium) srisukai and S. (S.) kiewmaepanense, are described from specimens collected in Thailand. Both species are assigned to the Simulium variegatum species-group of the subgenus Simulium (Simulium) Latreille. They are characterized by the darkened female femora and tibiae and six inflated pupal gill filaments, and the darkened female tibiae and six ordinary thread-like pupal gill filaments, respectively. Taxonomic notes are given to separate these new species from 10 related species among the group. These new species represent the third and fourth species of the S. variegatum species-group from Thailand.
从泰国采集的标本中描述了两种新的蚋，即斯里苏凯蚋（Simulium (Simulium) srisukai）和基乌迈潘蚋（S. (S.) kiewmaepanense）。这两个物种都被归入蚋属（Simulium）拉特雷ille亚属（Simulium (Simulium)）的杂色蚋物种组。它们的特征分别是雌性股骨和胫骨变黑，蛹鳃丝有六条膨胀；以及雌性胫骨变黑，蛹鳃丝有六条普通的丝状。给出了分类学注释，以将这些新物种与该组中的10个相关物种区分开来。这些新物种代表了来自泰国的杂色蚋物种组的第三个和第四个物种。
