Society Islands beach bum black flies (Diptera: Simuliidae)

Aspects of the body of work on the Central and Western Pacific black fly Simulium ( Inseliellum ) are briefly reviewed. Female adults collected from beaches in Tahiti and Raiatea are described as Simulium ( Inseliellum ) littopyga n. sp., Simulium ( Inseliellum ) littosocius n. sp. and Simulium ( Inseliellum ) littosodalis n. sp.. Immature stages of the three species are not associated.
