Three new nearctic species of Simuliidae nearSimulium vernumMacquart are described and illustrated:Simulium craigin.sp.,S.caledonensen.sp., andS.decolletumn.sp. Descriptions of larval polytene chromosomes are included. Notes on biology and distribution are given for each species and larval comparisons are made with three European siblings in theS.vernumcomplex.This publication has 4 references indexed in Scilit:
