A new species of black fly, Simulium dadagaunense, is described based on a female reared from a pupa from Nepal. This species is assigned to the Simulium (Simulium) striatum species-group, and is characterized in the female by the relatively narrow frons, weakly developed fronto-ocular area, and cibarium with four tiny processes. In addition, S. grisescens Brunetti originally described from India is newly recorded from Nepal.
