Abstract

Simulium (Boreosimulium) tokachiense sp. nov. is described on the basis of adults, pupae and mature larvae collected in Tokachi, Hokkaido, Japan. This is the second species of the subgenus Boreosimulium from Japan, and is most similar to S. (B.) balteatum described from North America by having the paramere with one medial and three apical hooks, the style with the dorsomesal margin bulged, and the pupal gill with the dorsal stalk branching near the middle of the gill. However, this new species is distinguished in the pupa by the gill with the ventral stalk very short and in the larva by the antenna without hyaline bands and the abdomen with a weakly colored transverse band on each segment.
