C008F031FFC45777FF44E3B7FD92CA58.taxon	discussion	Discussion. This species is widely distributed in the Neotropics and was previously known from Guatemala and Belize to Panama (Borkent and Spinelli 2000, 2007). Two other very similar species in the subgenus Avaritia Fox also occur in Mexico, C. pusillus Lutz and C. boydi Wirth and Mullens. Culicoides pusilloides differs from C. boydi by the 2 nd radial cell that is distinctly pale on its apical half, a shorter proboscis (Proboscis / Head ratio 0.50) and the short, broad aedeagus with sides strongly bowed outward. We provide the first records of C. pusilloides from Mexico. New records. Chiapas, El Vergel, 30 April 1935, light trap, M. F. Alfonso Dampf, 4525 ft, 1 female, 1 male.

C008F031FFC45770FF44E5F7FBACCD78.taxon	discussion	Discussion. This species was previously known only from the USA in Colorado, Maryland and Tennessee south to Louisiana and Florida (Borkent and Grogan 2009). Only two species in the subgenus Diphaomyia Vargas were previously known from Mexico, C. blantoni Vargas and Wirth and C. haematopotus Malloch. However, Root and Hoffman (1937) mentioned specimens of C. baueri from Distrito Federal, Mexico in the collection of Alfonso Dampf. Vargas (1945) also included Mexican records of C. baueri from Guerrero and Tamaulipas. In his Neotropical catalog, Wirth (1974) refers to erroneous identifications of C. baueri by Ortiz and Mirsa (1951) and Forattini (1957), and indicated that these were probably specimens of C. iriartei Fox. During our examination of material in CAIM, we compared specimens of C. baueri with specimens of C. blantoni, C. haematopotus, C. iriartei and other species in the subgenus Diphaomyia. Culicoides baueri differs from C. blantoni and C. haematopotus by its wing pattern that features a pale line bordering the anterior side of M 1 just below the poststigmatic pale spot in cell r 3. We identified males of C. baueri collected in Puebla, Mexico based on the descriptions and illustrations in Blanton and Wirth (1979) and by comparing them with other specimens of this species from the USA. However, we were unable to confirm earlier records of C. baueri from Mexico by Vargas (1945), because his material was not found in the CAIM collection. New records.

C008F031FFC35770FF44E297FA12CB18.taxon	discussion	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.

C008F031FFC35772FF44E4B7FDE8CFF8.taxon	discussion	Discussion. Under their distribution section for C. debilipalpis, Vitale et al. (1981) stated “ A common species in the southeastern U. S. from Maryland and Kentucky to Florida and Louisiana; absent in Texas, Mexico, and the West Indies; present in Central and South America south to Argentina. It is replaced in Texas and Mexico by C. eadsi Wirth and Blanton and in West Indies by C. hoffmani Fox. ” More recently, Borkent and Spinelli (2007) listed this species distribution as “ Widespread from the USA (Maryland, Kentucky, Nebraska south to Louisiana and Florida), Guatemala and Belize to Argentina. ” Whereas, Borkent and Grogan (2009) listed it from “ … Honduras south to Argentina. Macfie (1948) reported C. debilipalpis in Mexico from Chiapas based on specimens collected during 1935 in the collection of Alfonso Dampf. However, we have been unable to confirm these records because we were unable to locate his specimens in CAIM. We provide records of C. debilipalpis from Mexico based on specimens in the FSCA collected in Veracruz and Yucatán that were identified as this species by Willis Wirth. Confirmed Mexico record. Spinelli and Wirth (1986) considered C. debilipalpis a junior (subjective) synonym of C. lahillei (Iches) based on overall similarities of specimens of C. debilipalpis with the original description and illustrations of C. lahillei. Soon after, Ronderos and Spinelli (1997) examined a single female from the type series of C. debilipalpis collected from the Brazilian states of São Paulo and Formosa in the Instituto Oswaldo Cruz, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. They noted that the palpus of this specimen was illustrated by Costa Lima (1937) who pointed out that it was collected 30 January 1918 from Salto de Iguaçu, Paraná, Brazil. Ronderos and Spinelli (1997) concluded that Costa Lima (1937) incorrectly assumed that this specimen was an example of C. debilipalpis, and, that it agreed with Iches’ (1906) description and illustrations of C. lahillei. Therefore, Spinelli and Ronderos resurrected C. debilipalpis from synonymy with C. lahillei, and noted several morphological differences between females of C. lahillei and C. debilipalpis. For example, C. lahillei has a very slender 3 rd palpal segment (palpal ratio 3.70 - 4.00 vs. 2.00 - 2.60 in C. debilipalpis), a greater number of mandibular teeth (18 - 22 vs. 14 - 17 in C. debilipalpis), a pale halter (dark in C. debilipalpis) and the wing lacks macrotrichia in cell m 2 and anal cell (macrotrichia present in both cells in C. debilipalpis). Spinelli and Ronderos also provided illustrations of the male genitalia of both species and noted several features in C. lahillei that differ from males of C. debilipalpis. For example, males of C. lahillei have much shorter apicolateral processes, the aedeagus has a much lower basal arch, the midportion of the parameres lack a subapical ventral lobe and the apices only have an indistinct fringe of barbs, sternite 9 has a deeper, broader caudomedian excavation and the ventral root of the gonocoxite is much broader basally. Finally, it is also worth noting that during the brief period that both species were considered conspecific, the Neotropical Wing Atlas (Wirth et al. 1988; fig. 179) featured a photograph of a female wing of C. lahillei, which is actually a specimen of C. debilipalpis from Panama. We initially identified female specimens in ethanol of the related, very similar species, C. eadsi Wirth and Blanton from Mexico in the CAIM collection. The type series of this species was collected from tree holes in Cameron County, Texas in the extreme southeastern tip of this state just north of the Rio Grande River. Wirth and Blanton (1971) also identified 58 females and 8 males of C. eadsi from Nayarit, San Luis Potosí, Sonora and Yucatán, Mexico, but they did not designate these paratypes. More recently, Borkent and Spinelli (2000, 2007) included Cuba, Guatemala and Florida, USA within the geographic range of this species. The aedeagus of male C. eadsi has a broad distal portion with a truncate apex that bears five sharply pointed sclerites and the median sclerite is much broader than the two lateral ones on either side. By contrast, the distal portion of the aedeagus of male C. debilipalpis is much longer, more slender with a narrow pointed apex. However, we discovered problems with several published morphometric differences between females of these two species. For example, Wirth and Blanton (1971) gave palpal ratio (PR) 2.80, costal ratio (CR) 0.57 and proboscis / head (P / H) ratio 0.83 for C. eadsi and these values were repeated in the Nearctic (Wirth et al. 1985) and Neotropical (Wirth et al. 1988) wing atlases of Culicoides. In their “ The Sand Flies (Culicoides) of Florida ” Blanton and Wirth (1979) listed the following for C. debilipalpis: PR 2.20, CR 0.65 and P / H 1.00, and, these values were repeated in the Nearctic and Neotropical wing atlases. Based on the illustration of the female palpus of C. eadsi in Wirth and Blanton (1971), we calculated 2.33 for PR, which is considerably lower than 2.8 they reported. We then measured five female paratypes of C. eadsi that yielded the following: PR 2.44 - 2.50, CR 0.56 - 0.58 and P / H 0.81 - 0.90. We also measured 20 female C. debilipalpis from the USA from Florida (n = 9), Georgia (n = 5), Maryland (n = 4), Alabama (n = 1), and Virginia (n = 1) and 30 females from Mexico (n = 8), El Salvador (n = 10), Honduras (n = 10) and Panama (n = 2) and obtained the following means and ranges for these 50 specimens: PR 2.40 (1.90 - 2.82), CR 0.58 (0.55 - 0.60) and P / H 0.91 (0.69 - 1.01). It is now obvious that the CR of female C. debilipalpis is much lower than 0.65 as listed by Blanton and Wirth (1979), Wirth et al. (1985) and Wirth et al. (1988). We suspect that the values of this character were inverted and the true value for this character in Blanton and Wirth (1979) was probably meant to be 0.56. It is also apparent that none of these three morphometric characters adequately distinguish females of both species and, therefore, we have not included any new records of C. eadsi from Mexico herein.

C008F031FFC15772FF44E177FDB0CB38.taxon	discussion	Discussion. The leoni species group is composed of 7 species, 6 of which inhabit the Neotropical region (Borkent and Spinelli 2007). The 7 th species, C. reevesi Wirth, is known in the Nearctic region from Arizona, California, New Mexico and Utah (Grogan et al. 2004; Borkent and Grogan 2009). The only species previously known from this group in Mexico is C. gabaldoni Ortiz, which is widely distributed in the Neotropical region (Borkent and Spinelli 2007). Culicoides leoni differs from other species in the leoni group by the following combination of characters: sensilla coeloconica on flagellomeres 1, 5 - 8; female wing length 0.63 mm; wing pattern with the caudal extension of the post-stigmatic pale spot not oblique in cell r 3 and usually connected to vein M 1; smaller pale spot on r-m crossvein; one pale spot in cell M 1 near base; and distal pale spot in anal cell abutting wing margin. This species was previously known from Ecuador (Borkent and Spinelli 2007), and Colombia (Spinelli et al. 2009). We provide the first records of C. leoni from Mexico. New records.

(2009) recorded it from Colombia. Two species of the fluvialis species group occur in Mexico, C. castillae and C. leopoldoi Ortiz, both of which have similar wing patterns. However, in C. castillae, the three pale spots in cell r 3 are separated and arranged in a triangle-like pattern. We provide the first record of C. castillae from Mexico. New records.

This species was previously known in the Neotropical region from Guatemala and Belize, south to Trinidad, Bolivia and northeastern Argentina (Borkent and Spinelli 2007). Vargas (1954) provided the first reference of C. leopoldoi in Mexico based on specimens identified by Wirth from Chiapas. Of the then 10 known species in the fluvialis species group, Wirth and Blanton (1959) only listed C. leopoldoi from Mexico. However, in his catalog of the Americas south of the United States, Wirth (1974) did not include Mexico under his distribution section for C. leopoldoi. Consequently, all subsequent New World distributional references to C. leopoldoi did not include Mexico. We provide the first definitive records of this species from Mexico. New records.

C008F031FFCF577CFF44E1F7FCDFCB78.taxon	discussion	Discussion. This Neotropical species is currently known from southern Mexico south to Panama (Borkent and Spinelli 2000). Wirth (1952 a) recorded C. luteovenus in the USA from several localities in California and also listed it from Utah and Washington. Subsequently, Wirth (1965) listed these USA records in the Nearctic Diptera catalog, as did Borkent and Spinelli (2007) in their Neotropical catalog. However, in Wirth’s (1974) catalog south of the United States, C. luteovenus was not listed from the USA, and it was not included in the Nearctic Wing Atlas (Wirth et al. 1985) or in the recent Nearctic catalog by Borkent and Grogan (2009). Therefore, it is now apparent that earlier records of C. luteovenus from the USA probably referred to another species.
