Abstract

Simulium (Gomphostilbia) ogatai (Rubtsov) from Japan, the only Palaearctic species in the S. ceylonicum species-group, is morphologically revised. Its female is described for the first time and its male and pupa are redescribed based on specimens from Gifu, Honshu. It is characterized in the female and male by the base of the radius with a tuft of yellow hairs, in the female by the head slightly wider than the thorax, 5.89 times as wide as the greatest width of the frons, and short sensory vesicle 0.21-0.24 times as long as the third palpal segment; in the male by the number of upper-eye (large) facets in 15 vertical columns and 16 horizontal rows, and hind basitarsus spindle-shaped, enlarged, 3.79 times as long as wide, and 0.83 and 1.00 times as wide as the greatest width of the hind tibia and femur, respectively; and in the pupa by the terminal hooks simple and cone-like, and the cocoon with an anterodorsal projection. Taxonomic notes for this species are given relevant to several related species in the Oriental Region, and its assignment to the S. ceylonicum species-group is confirmed.

日本拟蝇属(双翅目:拟蝇科)种群中拟蝇(Gomphostilbia) ogatai (Rubtsov)的形态修正。

摘要对日本古北唯一的一种古北种(Simulium (Gomphostilbia) ogatai (Rubtsov))进行了形态学修正。本文首次对其雌性进行了描述，并根据本州岐阜的标本对其雄性和蛹进行了重新描述。其特征是雌蜂和雄蜂的基部半径处有一簇黄色毛，雌蜂的头部略宽于胸围，宽为雌蜂最大宽度的5.89倍，感觉囊短，长为第三趾节的0.21-0.24倍;在雄性中，由上眼(大)骨面数目组成的15纵列和16横列，和后基底骨呈纺锤状，增大，分别是后胫骨和股骨的长宽的3.79倍、宽的0.83倍和1.00倍;而在蛹的末端由钩简单而圆锥形，而茧的前端有一个突出。对该种进行了与东方地区几个近缘种相关的分类学注释，并确定其归属于S. ceylonicum种群。
