Culicoides trilineatus Fox, 1946: 250 View in CoL ( Virgin Islands); Fox 1949: 30 ( Puerto Rico); Vitale et al.1981: 146 (in key to species in the C. debilipalpis View in CoL group); Wirth et al. 1988: 50 (in Neotropical Wing Atlas; distribution); Borkent and Spinelli 2000: 42 (in New World catalog south of the USA; distribution); Spinelli et al. 2005: 13 (in review of hematophagous Ceratopogonidae View in CoL of Argentina; Paraguay record; in key; wing photograph); Borkent and Spinelli 2007: 75 (in Neotropical catalog; distribution).

Culicoides (Oecacta) trilineatus: Wirth 1974: 36 View in CoL (in New World catalog south of the USA; distribution).

Discussion. This Neotropical species was originally described by Fox (1946) from the female holotype from St. Thomas, Virgin Islands, and then soon after, Fox (1949) described the male from Puerto Rico. It was also subsequently recorded from Barbados, Dominica, Grenada, St. Croix and Saint Lucia ( Wirth and Blanton 1974), and from Paraguay ( Spinelli et al. 2005). In the recent past, it was assigned to the subgenus Oecacta (Wirth 1974) and to the debilipalpis species group ( Vitale et al. 1981), but most modern authorities consider it unplaced to subgenus or species group ( Borkent and Spinelli 2000, 2007). We provide the first records of C. trilineatus from Guadeloupe.
