Abstract

A new species, Forcipomyia maculosus (Yu, Wang et Yu) sp. nov. and a new record species Culicoides sinanoensis Tokunaga were recorded from Anning of Yunnan province, China. Wings surface, antennae and paramere of the new species is closely allied to Forcipomyia (F.) declivis Debenham, 1987, but the latter is distinctly characterized by ring spots on foods, a shield shaped aedeagus and without the blue green body color. The new species is also closely allied to Forcipomyia (F.) adjecta Tokunaga, 1959, but no depressions on the middle tail sterna and wide aedeagus of the latter is significantly different from that of the new species. The type specimens are preserved in the medical insect specimens Museum, Fengtai East Street No. 20, Beijing 100071, China.
