Abstract

É descrita uma nova espécie para o subgênero Simulium (Psaroniocompsa) Enderlein: S. (P.) guaporense proveniente da Província Hidrogeológica do Escudo Central, pertencente ao grupo "siolii" (S. siolii, S. lourencoi, S. damascenoi) descrito por Py-Daniel (1988).

Simuliidae (Diptera:Culicomorpha) no Brasil XI - Shelleyellum gênero novo

“…Distribuição: espécie registrada apenas para o Amapá, em vários igarapés ao longo da estrada Macapá-Oiapoque (Py-Daniel, 1988;Hamada et al, 2003) Simulium (Psaroniocompsa) guaporense Py-Daniel, 1989 Imagos: Não conhecidos. Pupa: Comprimento do casulo, dorsal = 2,5mm / ventral = 3,3-3,4 mm.…”

Simulium (Psaroniocompsa) tergospinosum new species (Diptera: Simuliidae) in siolii group from the southern part of the State of Amazonas, Brazil

“…Diagnosis: S. tergospinosum larvae have dorsal and lateral triangular tubercles on the abdomen (Figs 31, 32), a character shared, in the Neotropics, only with species in the S. siolii group. Last instar larvae in this species group have either four or six branchial filaments, seen after dissection of the histoblast (Py-Daniel 1988, 1989. S. guaporense can be distinguished from the new species by having six filaments and S. siolii and S. lourencoi by having the secondary filaments branching far away from the base.…”

“…Since the types of species in the siolii group were not available for loan to the author of the present paper, the comparisons among species in the group were based on the original description (Py-Daniel 1988, 1989. Specimens of the new species were compared with larvae and pupae of S. damascenoi, collected in the type locality region (Igarapé Davi Grande, August 1993;Cachoeira Grande, August 1993, July 1996, State of Amapá, Brazil.…”

Cladistic analysis of Simulium (Trichodagmia) and Simulium (Thyrsopelma) (Diptera: Simuliidae)

“…Six were based on larval morphology [0-5]; five on pupal morphology [6-10], 16 on adult female morphology [11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24][25][26]; and seven on adult male mor phology [27][28][29][30][31][32][33]. Character codings were drawn from the original descriptions, redescriptions by Dalmat (1955), Crosskey (1960Crosskey ( , 1969, Py-Daniel, Konrad & Gastal (1985), Coscaron (1991), Muñoz (1996) and Shelley et al (1997) and original observations from additional specimens (Appendix). Table 1 gives descriptions of char acters and states.…”
