A new species of black fly, Simulium (Gomphostilbia) rampae, is described, based on adult male, its pupal exuviae and mature larvae collected from Doi Inthanon National Park, northern Thailand. This new species is placed in the Simulium asakoae species-group, and is characterized in the male by the high number of upper-eye facets in 17 vertical columns and 18 horizontal rows, in the pupa by the gill with a long common basal stalk, cone-shaped terminal hook, and cocoon with an anterodorsal projection, and in the larva by the medium-long postgenal cleft. A DNA analysis using COI gene supported its assignment to the S. asakoae species-group and showed its close relationship to S. (G.) udomi Takaoka & Choochote and S. (G.) chiangdaoense Takaoka & Srisuka. This is the fourth member of the S. asakoae species-group recorded from Thailand.
一种新的黑蝇,Simulium(Gomphostilbia)rampae,基于成年雄性、蛹蜕和成熟幼虫描述,采集自泰国北部的茵他侬国家公园。这种新物种被归入 Simulium asakoae 物种群,其雄性特征为 17 列垂直和 18 行水平的高眼面数量,蛹的特征为具有长共同基底柄、锥形末端钩的鳃,以及具有前背突出的茧,幼虫的特征为中长后颏裂。使用 COI 基因的 DNA 分析支持其被归入 S. asakoae 物种群,并表明它与 S. (G.) udomi Takaoka & Choochote 和 S. (G.) chiangdaoense Takaoka & Srisuka 密切相关。这是泰国记录的第四个 S. asakoae 物种群成员。
