A new black fly (Diptera: Simuliidae) with a mild black to yellow thorax, belong the subgenus Nevermannia Enderlein (1921), from Eastern Ghats, South India

Simulium (Nevermannia) kiliyurense sp.nov. is described based on female, pupa, and larva collecting from the Eastern continuous hills of Kollimalai, India.At present, the newly discovered species has been placed under Simulium ruficorne species group of the subgenus Nevermannia Enderlein.S. (N.) kiliyurense sp.nov. is characterized by a female antenna with nine flagellomeres, a pleural membrane bare, a Subcosta has medium brown hairs except for the apical 1/4 bare, male unknown, pupal cocoon sleeper-shaped and larval hypostoma with eight hypostomal bristles per side lying parallel to the lateral margin.It is similar to S. (N.) aureohirtum Brunetti, 1911 from India.

Simulium (Nevermannia) kiliyurense sp.nov. is described based on female, pupa, and larva collecting from the Eastern continuous hills of Kollimalai, India.At present, the newly discovered species has been placed under Simulium ruficorne species group of the subgenus Nevermannia Enderlein.S. (N.) kiliyurense sp.nov. is characterized by a female antenna with nine flagellomeres, a pleural membrane bare, a Subcosta has medium brown hairs except for the apical 1/4 bare, male unknown, pupal cocoon sleeper-shaped and larval hypostoma with eight hypostomal bristles per side lying parallel to the lateral margin.It is similar to S. (N.) aureohirtum Brunetti, 1911 from India.
