The feeding habits of <i>C. neopulicaris</i> are unknown, however, several other species in the subgenus <i>Culicoides</i> are primarily mammalophilic. These species include <i>C. freeborni</i> Wirth and Blanton, reported to feed on deer and jackrabbits; <i>C. neofagineus</i> Wirth and Blanton, known to feed on deer and quail; <i>C. cockerellii</i> (Coquillett), <i>C. frohnei</i> Wirth and Blanton, <i>C. tristriatulus</i> Hoffman, and <i>C. yukonensis</i> Hoffman, reported to feed on humans (Wirth and Blanton 1969). Wirth (1955) described <i>C. neopulicaris</i> from Texas and Mexico, Wirth and Blanton (1969) recorded it from Costa Rica and El Salvador, and Wirth et al. (1985) recorded it from Louisiana.

Dasyhelea atlantis Wirth and Williams
No full textDasyhelea atlantis Wirth and Williams Dasyhelea atlantis Wirth and Williams, 1957: 11 (Bermuda); Waugh and Wirth 1976: 245 (revision of eastern United States Dasyhelea Kieffer; distribution); Borkent and Grogan 2009: 11 (in Nearctic catalog; distribution). Discussion. Wirth and Williams (1957) described this species from Bermuda specimens collected by light traps and reared from larvae and pupae, and reported that it was among the most commonly collected species in their study. Williams (1957) published habitat data for a number of Ceratopogonidae from Bermuda and noted that immature stages of D. atlantis were collected from strands of seaside purslane, Sesuvium portulacastrum (L.). This species has only been recorded in Florida from Indian River Co. (Wilkening et al. 1985). We provide the first records from Monroe Co. that includes a male reared from a pupa collected on seaside purslane. New records. Monroe Co., Long Key, 1-XI-2007, L.
