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.[1] They are the only Simuliidae found in New Zealand.[2]

In New Zealand, where they are known as sandflies, the females of three species – , and A. ungulatum – bite humans;[3][4] the males do not.[2] 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.[5] A. tillyardianum is found in the North Island and the South Island.[6] A. ungulatum is found in the South Island and Stewart Island, and is well-known for biting humans.[7]
