Discovery of a new black fly species in the Simulium (Simulium) striatum species-group (Diptera: Simuliidae) from Northeastern Thailand and its phylogenetic relationships with seven Thai related species
The female, male, pupa and mature larva of Simulium (Simulium) poolpholi sp. nov. collected from a large and seasonal stream in northeastern Thailand are described. This new species is placed in the S. striatum species -group by the female sternite 8 concave posteromedially in form of the inverted-U...
