A new species of black fly, Simulium (Gomphostilbia) paserense sp. nov., is described based on a pharate pupa and mature larvae from East Kalimantan, Indonesia. Simulium (G.) paserense sp. nov. is placed in the Simulium epistum species-group of the subgenus Gomphostilbia and is characterized by the pupal gill with 13 short, slender filaments arising at the same level from a short common basal stalk and three dorsomedial trichomes (plus three ventrolateral trichomes) on each side of the pupal thorax closely arising from one another, both characters rarely occurring in Gomphostilbia species. Taxonomic notes are given to separate this new species from its close allies, S. (G.) barioense Takaoka and S. (G.) fulgidum Takaoka, both described from Sarawak. Seven known species, S. (G.) cheongi Takaoka & Davies, S. (G.) lehi Takaoka, S. (G.) sarawakense Takaoka, S. (G.) tahanense Takaoka & Davies, S. (Simulium) mirum Takaoka, Sofian-Azirun & Low, S. (S.) keningauense Takaoka and S. (S.) sabahense Smart & Clifford, are newly recorded from Kalimantan. The male and larva of S. (G.) sarawakense are described for the first time.
