Abstract;Simulium (Simulium) manooni sp, nov. and S. (S.) doipuiense sp. nov. (formerly S. (S.) sp. E reported by Takaoka and Suzuki, 1984) are described based on reared female and male adult, pupal and larval specimens collected in northern Thailand. Both new species are assigned to the tuberosum species-group of the subgenus Simulium (Simulium) Latreille. Simulium (S.) manooni sp. nov. seems to be most closely related to S. (S.) ramosum Puri from India, while S. (S.) doipuiense sp. nov. is related to S. (S.) rufibasis fasciatum Puri also from India. The morphological differences between these new species and their known related species are noted. (author abst.)
