Culicoides (Drymodesmyia) bredini Wirth and Blanton

Bezzia (Bezzia) mallochi Wirth Bezzia (Pseudobezzia) mallochi Wirth, 1951: 323 (Virginia); Dow and Turner 1976: 51 (revision of Nearctic Bezzia; distribution). Bezzia (Bezzia) mallochi: Borkent and Grogan 2009: 26 (in Nearctic catalog; distribution). Discussion. The following specimens from Liberty and Santa Rosa counties are apparently the first records of this species from Florida (Borkent and Grogan 2009). New records.

Culicoides hoguei Wirth and Moraes
Culicoides hoguei Wirth and Moraes Culicoides hoguei Wirth and Moraes, 1979: 293 (female, male; fig. female antenna, palpus, wing, eye separation, spermathecae, male genitalia, parameres, leg; California). Wirth et al. 1985: 38 (numerical characters; fig. female wing). Wirth et al. 1988: 56 (numerical characters; fig. female wing). Borkent and Spinelli 2000: 40 (in Neotropical catalog). Culicoides mohave Wirth, misidentified: Wirth 1952a: 187 (in part). Diagnosis. (Tables 14, 15) Brown; wing similar to C. mohave (Fig. 131, 207), pattern faint on distal half; r 2 dark; distal pale spot in r 3 distinct, centered at ~0.6 the distance from apex of costa to apex of M 1, not extending into distal 0.2 of cell; one pale spot in distal half of anal cell; two ovoid subequal spermathecae, with necks ~2× longer than wide; sclerotized ring on spermathecal duct; male tergite 9 apicolateral processes long: their length ~0.5 the distance between them; ventral apodeme of gonocoxite with two widely divergent processes, footlike; aedeagal arms simple V-shaped, median process tapering triangular to rounded tip; paramere with bulbous submedian lobe and subapical fringe of spines. Distribution. Coastal Southern California, Baja California, Baja California Sur. Adult behavior. Ryckman and Ryckman (1963) reported C. hoguei biting humans, sometimes after dark and suggested C. hoguei ’s larval habitat is likely the rotting organic material on the beaches surrounding the Baja California islands where the midges were collected. Remarks. Wirth and Moraes (1979) found some Baja California specimens to have smaller proboscis ratios and more mandibular teeth than those of the California types. I include these variations within parenthesis in Table 14; however, no C. hoguei were examined.Published as part of Phillips, Robert A., 2022, Culicoides Latreille and Leptoconops Skuse biting midges of the southwestern United States with emphasis on the Canyonlands of southeastern Utah (Diptera: Ceratopogonidae), pp. 1-214 in Insecta Mundi 2022 (907) on page 101, DOI: 10.5281/zenodo.639168
Dasyhelea griseola Wirth 1978
Dasyhelea griseola Wirth Dasyhelea griseola Wirth, 1978: 193 (Mexico, Baja California); Borkent and Spinelli 2000: 25 (in New World catalog south of the USA; distribution). Discussion. Wirth (1978) described this relative of D. grisea from Baja California, Mexico (types), Panama and Trinidad. We discovered four males and one female in the FSCA from Levy Co., Florida that Wirth identified as this species, and these are the first records of D. griseola from the United States. Males of D. griseola are readily distinguished from those of D. grisea in that they lack a mesobasal spur on their gonocoxites. New records. Florida, Levy Co., Yankeetown, 23-V-1987, Alan Wilkening, light trap with CO 2, 4 males, 1 female (FSCA). New continental US record.Published as part of William L.

Dasyhelea luteogrisea Wirth & Williams
Dasyhelea luteogrisea Wirth & Williams Dasyhelea luteogrisea Wirth & Williams, 1957: 10 (Bermuda; Bahamas; Florida & Texas); Davies & Giglioli 1979: 592 (Grand Cayman); Wilkening et al. 1985: 518 (Florida records); Borkent & Spinelli 2000: 25 (in New World catalog south of the USA; distribution); Borkent & Spinelli 2007: 60 (in Neotropical catalog; distribution). Diagnosis. Males and females are nearly morphologically identical to males and females of D. grisea but differ from that species in being yellowish overall, but, males have a dark brown gonostylus. Discussion. Wirth & Williams (1957) described this yellowish relative of D. grisea from Bermudae (type locality), the Bahamas, and coastal sites in Florida, Louisiana and Texas. Wirth & Williams noted that “ This species is evidently a salt marsh relative of Dasyhelea grisea (Coquillett), with which it occasionally occurs, but without showing evidence of interbreeding.” Wilkening et al. (1985) listed Florida records from Miami-Dade, Levy, Monroe and Palm Beach counties. We compared a male and female from Guadeloupe that apparently belong to this species with Florida specimens from Levy and Monroe counties and 3 male and 3 female paratypes from Bermuda borrowed from the USNM.
