Abstract
Two new species and a new record of blood sucking biting midges of the subgenus Lasiohelea Kieffer, 1921 of the genus Forcipomyia Meigen, 1818 are described after the morphological and molecular data. The new species. Forcipomyia (Lasiohelea) peditata and F. (L.) falcata were fetched from the Sub-Himalayan region, and F. (L.) parvitas (Liu and Yu, 1996) from both the Gangetic plain and western plateau regions of West Bengal. The DNA barcoding of Mitochondrial COX I gene has also been used as molecular evidence.
