Abstract

Simulium (Hellichiella) notoense sp. nov. is described on the basis of adult females and pupae collected in Ishikawa Prefecture, Honshu, Japan. This new species is distinguished from most known species of the subgenus Hellichiella by the pupal gill with four slender filaments arranged in two pairs, of which the dorsal pair bears a long stalk directed upward while the ventral pair bears a short stalk extended forward. The pupa of S. (H.) notoense sp. nov. is remarkable in lacking frontal trichomes which are present in most species of the Simuliidae. This is the second species of the subgenus Hellichiella recorded from Japan.
