Abstract:
The male, pupa and mature larva of Simulium (Asiosimulium) wanchaii Takaoka
& Choochote, one of the four species of the small Oriental black fly subgenus Asiosimulium,
are described for the first time based on samples collected from Thailand. The male S. (A.)
wanchaii is characterized based on the enlarged hind basitarsus and the ventral plate which
is much wider than long. The pupa and larva are characterized by the gill with 19 filaments
and the deep postgenal cleft, respectively. Keys are provided to identify all the four species
of the subgenus Asiosimulium for females, males, pupae and mature larvae.
