Objective To study the species distribution and taxonomy of Culicoides (Fastus) in China. Methods Midges were captured using bed nets, light traps, and insect nets. Results A total of 12 species of Culicoides (Fastus) were recorded in China, including Culicoides (Fastus) mingshanensis sp. nov. The distribution of the 12 known species in China and the measurements of their major differential characteristics were described to compile an index list. Conclusion This study provides a reference for investigating the species distribution and taxonomy of Culicoides (Fastus) in China. C. mingshanensis sp. nov. has similar wing spots as C. festivipennis Kieffer, 1914, but the latter is distinctly different in the sensilla coeloconica of antenna situated on segments 3-15 and the third segment of palpus with sensory pit. The type specimen of the new species is deposited at the Shenyang Military Command Centre for Disease Control and Prevention (Shenyang 110034, China).
