The fauna and distribution of the blackflies in Hyogo Prefecture were investigated by collecting larvae and pupae stages of flies from streams and adults flying around the collectors in 79 localities in the spring of 1990. A total of 13,483 larvae, 1,761 pupae and 11 adults belonging to 2 genera and 23 species, 5 of which were unidentified, were collected at 71 sites. Eight known species of 2 genera, Prosimulium (Prosimulium) yezoense, Simulium (Nevermannia) konoi, S. (N.) subcostatum, S. (Gomphostilbia) ogatai, S. (Gnus) kisoense, S. (Simulium) japonicum, S. (S.) kawamurae and S. (S.) suzukii were newly recorded from Hyogo Prefecture. The predominant species was S. (S.) japonicum (28.4%), followed by S. (Odagmia) bidentatum (26.2%), S. (N.) uchidai (17.4%) and S. (O.) aokii (12.5%). The most widely distributed species was S. (S.) japonicum (54 sites), followed by S. (O.) bidentatum (49 sites), S. (N.) uchidai (43 sites), S. (S.) rufibasis (30 sites), S. (N.) subcostatum (27 sites) and S. (O.) aokii (26 sites).
