Abstract
A checklist and keys for the 110 species of black flies (Diptera: Simuliidae) in Thailand are updated. The checklist includes Simulium bishopi Takaoka & Davies of the Simulium melanopus species-group, newly recorded from southern Thailand, and S. chiangmaiense Takaoka & Suzuki, previously treated as a junior synonym of S. nakhonense Takaoka & Suzuki. All species are classified in six subgenera (Asiosimulium Takaoka & Choochote, Daviesellum Takaoka & Adler, Gomphostilbia Enderlein, Montisimulium Rubtsov, Nevermannia Enderlein and Simulium Latreille) of the genus Simulium Latreille; and species in Gomphostilbia, Nevermannia and Simulium are placed in species-groups or subgroups. Keys to identify the species are provided for females, males, pupae and mature larvae under each subgenus.
