Simulium (Asiosimulium) shanense sp. nov. is described based on a male caught by a sweep net. It is characterized by abdominal segments 2–8, each having a pair of shiny dorsolateral patches, a character not found in the males of the three known species of the subgenus Asiosimulium. Taxonomic notes are given to distinguish it from three related species from Thailand.
