| Abstract;Two new species of Simulium Latreille s.l. are described based on specimens collected from Phop Phra, Tak Province, in northwestern Thailand. Simulium prayongi sp. nov. is assigned to the batoense species-group of the subgenus Gomphostilbia, and is characterized by the pupal gill composed of two inflated elements and eight slender filaments. Simulium takense sp, nov. is assigned to the multistriatum species-group of the subgenus Simulium s. str., and is easily distinguished in the pupa from other known species of this species-group by a combination of the shoe-shaped cocoon, the pupal gill with eight gill filaments widely divergent, and the presence of distinct spine-combs and terminal hooks on the 9th abdominal segment.
