Culicoides (Monoculicoides) variipennis (Coquillett) View in CoL

Ceratopogon variipennis Coquillett, 1901: 602 View in CoL (Virginia, New Jersey, Mexico).

Culicoides variipennis: Kieffer 1906: 55 View in CoL (combination); Holbrook et al. 2000: 68 (genetic analysis and revision of complex).

Culicoides variipennis variipennis: Wirth and Jones 1957: 12 View in CoL (Virginia syntype designated lectotype).

Culicoides (Monoculicoides) variipennis: Khalaf 1954: 40 View in CoL ; Blanton and Wirth 1979: 161 (Florida records, in part); Wilkening et al. 1985: 521 (Florida records, in part); Borkent and Grogan 2009: 15 (in Nearctic catalog; distribution).

Discussion. Because Blanton and Wirth (1979) and Wilkening et al. (1985) did not distinguish specimens of C. variipennis and C. sonorensis , we list below Florida records of C. variipennis identified and labeled by WLG in the FSCA and USNM. We also provide the first records from Walton Co.
