Objective To describe the midge species in Meiji Reef,Nansha Islands,China.Methods Midge samples were collected by the light trap method in August 2020,preserved in 70% ethanol solution,and brought back to the laboratory.The slide specimens were made,and species were identified by morphology.Results A total of 2 species in the Forcipomyia and 3 species in the Dasyhelea from the Ceratopogonidae were identified,including Forcipomyia (Forcipomyia) xuyangi Yu,sp.nov.,F.(F.) esakiana Tokunaga,1940,Dasyhelea ascia Yu,sp.nov.,D.labourdonnaisi Clastrier,1959,and D.tetraphylla Yu,sp.nov.Among them,F.(F.) esakiana Tokunaga,1940 and D.labourdonnaisi Clastrier,1959 were first recorded in China.Conclusion This study is the first to describe the midge species in Nansha Islands.A total of 5 species in 2 genera have been identified,and blood-sucking midges are not found.All specimens are preserved at the Naval Medical University.
