In this paper we clarify the status of some poorly known black fly species from the Neotropical region. Information is provided about their depositories, their condition and on previously established synonyms. Nineteen new synonyms and three new type designations are made based on an examination of type material. The following new synonyms ( in brackets) are proposed: S. subpallidum Lutz (= S. acarayense as S. acarayensis Coscaron & Wygodzinsky); S. spinibranchium Lutz (= S. laneportoi Vargas, S. striginotum Enderlein); S. rubrithorax Lutz (= S. mutucuna Nunes de Mello & Vieira da Silva); S. inaequale (Paterson & Shannon) (= Trichodagmia manicata Enderlein, S. clarki Fairchild, S. pseudoexiguum Nunes de Mello & Almeida); S. subnigrum Lutz (= S. subclavibranchium Lutz, S. nahimi Py- Daniel, S. nogueirai D'Andretta & Gonzalez B., S. beaupertuyi Ramirez Perez, Rassi & Ramirez, S. leopoldense Strieder & Py-Daniel); S. callidum (Dyar & Shannon) (= S. costaricensis Smart); S. jujuyense Paterson & Shannon (= S. auripellitum Enderlein, Pliodasina guttata Enderlein, S. minuanum Strieder & Coscaron, S. bonaerense Coscaron & Wygodzinsky); S. spinifer Knab (= Simulium hoffmanni Vargas, Simulium sicuani Smart). Simulium dekeyseri is removed from its synonymy with S. laneportoi to become a valid species within Chirostilbia, Simulium oviedoi and S. rivasi are confirmed to be member of the subgenus Hemicnetha and transferred to tarsatum species-group, and S. spinifer ( with its synonymies) is resurrected from synonymy with S. jujuyense and considered a valid species in Simulium s.l. A neotype is designated for S. inaequale. Lectotypes are designated for S. subclavibranchium and S. subpallidum.
