''Austrosimulium'' is a genus of about 30 species of black flies that are distributed in Australia and New Zealand. There are 2 subgenera: '' Austrosimulium'' whose species are principally from New Zealand, and '' Novaustrosimulium'' which are exclusively Australian. ''Austrosimulium'' is a sister genus to the monospecific '' Paraustrosimulium'' of South America. Some species are known to spread the protozoan blood parasite '' Leucocytozoon tawaki'' in penguins. In New Zealand, where they are known as '' sandflies'' or namu (in Māori from Proto-Austronesian *''ñamuk'' "mosquito", compare with ), three species – '' A. australense'', '' A. tillyardianum'' and '' A. ungulatum'' – bite humans. Species These 30 species belong to the genus ''Austrosimulium'': ; Subgenus Austrosimulium Tonnoir, 1925 : '' Austrosimulium albovelatum'' Dumbleton, 1973 (New Zealand (South Island)) : ''Austrosimulium alveolatum'' Dumbleton, 1973 (New Zealand (South Island)) : '' Austrosimulium aust ...

Austrosimulium (subgenus)
''Austrosimulium'' is a subgenus of ''Austrosimulium'', a genus of Simuliidae (black flies). The flies in this subgenre are found mainly in New Zealand, with a few in Australia. They are the only Simuliidae found in New Zealand. In New Zealand, where they are known as ''sandflies'', the females of three species – '' A. australense'', '' A. tillyardianum'' and '' A. ungulatum'' – bite humans; the males do not. ''A. australense'' is found in the North Island, South Island, Stewart Island and some offshore islands; it is the sandfly that is encountered most commonly in the North Island and the main one that bites humans there. ''A. tillyardianum'' is found in the North Island and the South Island. ''A. ungulatum'' is found in the South Island and Stewart Island, and is well-known for biting humans. Species These 24 species belong to the subgenus ''Austrosimulium'': : ''Austrosimulium albovelatum'' Dumbleton, 1973 (New Zealand (South Island)) : ''Austrosimulium alveolatum'' Du ...
