Abstract:
A new species of Culicoides, C. jiulongensis Liu et Wang sp. nov. is described from Sichuan Province, China. The new species is closely allied to Culicoides sublatifrontis Smatov et Isimbekov 1971, but is distinctly different from the spermathecae 2 subequal, antennal sensilla coeloconica present on segments 3, 7, (10)11-14, mandible with 16 teeth, and maxilla with 21 teeth, and H/P 1.03 of female C. sublatifrontis Smatov et Isimbekov, 1971. The new species is also similar to Culicoides latifrontis Shakrizjanova, 1962, but is distinctly different from the AR 1.00(0.94-1.10),PR 1.84 (1.33-2.00), mandible with 15-17 teeth of female C. latifrontis shakriajanova, 1962. A new record in China C.abchazicus Dzhafarov 1964 is described from Liaoning, Jiling Province and Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region. All specimens are deposited in the Centre for Disease Control and Prevention of Shenyang Command, Shenyang 110034, China.
