Abstract
The female, male, pupa and larva of Simulium (Edwardsellum) pandanophilum sp. nov. (Diptera: Simuliidae) from western Uganda are described. Diagnostic features are the shape of the tarsal claws of females and, cytogenetically, new intraspecific inversions on chromosomes I and II. Simulium pandanophilum is assigned to the Simulium damnosum complex. Different tarsal claw shapes of West African members of the S. damnosum complex are also described.Keywords
