Culicoides (Diphaomyia) iriartei Fox View in CoL

Culicoides iriartei Fox, 1952: 368 ( Venezuela) View in CoL .

Culicoides (Diphaomyia) iriartei: Vargas 1960: 40 View in CoL (in list of New World species in subgenus Diphaomyia View in CoL ).

Discussion. This species is presently known from Guatemala to Colombia, Venezuela, Tobago and Brazil ( Borkent and Spinelli 2000, 2007). Two other species in the subgenus Diphaomyia have been previously recorded in Mexico, C. blantoni and C. haematopotus . Culicoides baueri is somewhat similar to C. iriartei , but differs in lacking distal pale bands on the hind femora and tibiae in that species. We provide the first records of C. iriartei from Mexico.
