Abstract
This paper on the Simuliidae of Sri Lanka provides notes on Simulium (Eusimulium) aureohirtum and describes three new species of Simulium (Gomphostilbia): Simulium krombeini, Simulium ela, and Simulium dola. The females of S. (G.) pattoni and Simulium (Gomphostilbia) ceylonicum comb.n. are redescribed and the males, pupae, and larvae are described for the first time. Keys are provided for separating the subgenera of Simulium and the species of Gomphostilbia in Sri Lanka. Some taxonomic comparisons are made with related Oriental species and a few biological notes are given.
