Abstract:
Simulium (Simulium) chanyae sp. nov. is described based on two female adult specimens collected in Northern Thailand. This new species is assigned to the multistriatum species-group of the subgenus Simulium (Simulium), and is easily distinguished from most of the other known species of this species-group by the yellowish legs.
