Discussion. This primarily Neotropical species occurs in the southeastern USA in Alabama, Georgia and Florida ( Borkent and Grogan 2009), and in Mexico south through Central America to central Argentina, and in the Caribbean region ( Borkent and Spinelli 2007). It was previously known in Mexico from Chiapas and Yucatán ( Macfie 1948, Blanton and Wirth 1979, Borkent and Spinelli 2007); we provide the first records from Tabasco and Veracruz. Culicoides insignis is one of three possible vectors of bluetongue in the Neotropical Region ( Sáenz and Greiner 1994; Borkent 2005).
