Abstract
The description of Culicoides gulbenkiani is based on 15 females captured in a light trap, at Onderstepoort, within forty-two days (from 20th March, 1958 to 30th April, 1958); and on three females and one male from the Onderstepoort Laboratory collection identified by De Meillon in April 1956 as Culicoides milnei Austen. The careful study of these specimens show them to be a new species and not a variation of milnei. Unfortunately amongst the thousands of Culicoides captured in light traps daily no other males of this species were found.
