Abstract

The paper reports 1 genera and 19 species of bloodsucking midges in Hongxing volcano lava area, Heilongjiang province. A new species Culioides hongxingensis Yang et Liu sp. nov. is described. This new species is closely allied to C. pallidulus Yu, 1982, but is distinctly different from the eyes with interfacetal hairs, eyes are separated by width of 3.5 facet of female C. pallidulus Yu, 1982. The new species is also similar to C. subcircumscriptus Yu, 1991, but is distinctly different from the middle of pale spot over x-vein with small dark spot, cell M1 and cell M2 without pale spot of C. subcircumscriptus Yu, 1991. Culicoides donggangensis Liu, Zhou et Wu, 2007 is recorded for the first time in Heilongjiang province. The type specimens are deposited in the Shenyang Command Center for Disease Control and Prevention (Shenyang 110034, China).
