A New Species of theSimulium (Simulium) multistriatumSpecies-Group (Diptera: Simuliidae) From Thailand and Its Phylogenetic Relationships With Related Species
Simulium undecimum sp. Nov. is described from Thailand. This new species is assigned to the Simulium multistriatum species-group, one of the 20 species-groups of the subgenus Simulium in the Oriental Region. It is characterized by the female cibarium with minute processes, male ventral plate with a...
