Abstract

To investigate the distribution of midges and acquire the background data of midges in Ningnan county, Sichuan province, China. From May October 2018, midges were collected by netting, human trapping, and light trapping in Ningnan county. The midges caught belonged to 7 species from 5 genera in 3 subfamilies, including 1 new species (Dasyhelea jinshajiangensis Chen, Qian et Yu, sp. nov.) and 1 new record in China (D. malleola Remm, 1962). The dominant blood-sucking population was Lasiohelea taiwana Shiraki, 1913. The model specimens were kept in the Medical Entomology Collection Gallery, Institute of Microbiology and Epidemiology, Academy of Military Medical Sciences, Beijing 100071.
