Abstract
Four new species of black ies of Simulium (Simulium) are described from adults and their associated pupal exuviae and cocoons in Nepal. All these new species, S. tatopaniense, S. dailekhense, S. langbangense, and S. nakanoi, are in the S. tuberosum species-group of the subgenus Simulium Latreille. Simulium dailekhense sp. nov. and S. langtangense are the same species previously reported as S. ramosum Puri and S. ru basis Brunetti from Nepal, respectively. A list of 57 black y species recorded from Nepal is provided.
