Simulium pumatense sp. nov. is described from Vietnam, and is placed in the Simulium feuerborni species-group of the subgenus Simulium (Nevermannia) Enderlein. Its morphological characteristics include the relatively smaller numbers of the following three numerical features: inner teeth of the female mandible (15-18), minute conical processes (16) on the female cibarium, and male upper-eye facets (in 15 vertical columns and 16 horizontal rows). Keys are constructed to distinguish this species from four species of the same group in Vietnam. Our molecular analysis of the DNA barcoding COI gene shows that this species is most closely related to cytoform A of the S. feuerborni complex from Thailand.
新种越南细蠓(Simulium pumatense sp. nov.)被描述于越南,被置于细蠓亚属(Simulium)(内弗曼蠓亚属Nevermannia)恩德勒林的费氏细蠓物种组。其形态特征包括以下三个数值特征的数量相对较少:雌虫下颚内齿(15 - 18个)、雌虫食窦上的微小锥形突(16个)以及雄虫上眼小面(呈15列垂直和16行水平排列)。构建了检索表以将该物种与越南同一组的四个物种区分开来。我们对DNA条形码COI基因的分子分析表明,该物种与来自泰国的费氏细蠓复合体细胞型A关系最为密切。
