“…Morphological characters of Cerqueirellum sanguineum (we have only examined larvae previous to the last instar), Coscaroniellum cerradense (complementary data provided by Dr. sixto Coscarón, Museo de la Plata, Argentina) and Shelleyellum tergospinosum were analyzed based upon information contained in their original descriptions and additional bibliography (shelley, 1982;smart, 1942;Ramírez-Pérez et al, 1982;Py-Daniel, 1983;Goeldi, 1905;lutz, 1910;1917;Cerqueira and nunes de Mello, 1964;Tidwell et al, 1981;Knab, 1915;Coscarón et al, 1992;Hamada, 2000). For all other species this information was obtained through examination of specimens using binocular stereoscopic microscopy and compound microscopy.…”

Females of simuliid black flies are haematophagous insects and vectors of several pathogenic agents of human diseases such as the filarial worms Mansonella ozzardi and Onchocerca volvulus. The genus Cerqueirellum is one of the most important groups of vectors of mansonellosis and onchocerciasis diseases in south America, and the genera Coscaroniellum and Shelleyellum are phylogenetically close to Cerqueirellum. There is not yet an agreement among authors about the generic classification of the species which compose these three genera, being all lumped by some taxonomists within Psaroniocompsa. A cladistic analysis of all species of Coscaroniellum, Cerqueirellum, and Shelleyellum, based on 41 morphological characters were done. species closely related to Cerqueirellum were included in the analysis. The genera Cerqueirellum, Coscaroniellum and Shelleyellum were demonstrated as consistent basal entities and well-defined monophyletic clades.Key words: Phylogeny, Cerqueirellum, Coscaroniellum, Shelleyellum, Psaroniocompsa. As fêmeas de piuns ou borrachudos da família simuliidae são hematófagas e vetoras de diversos patógenos, destacando-se os vermes filarióides Mansonella ozzardi e Onchocerca volvulus. Dentre os grupos supra-específicos que são vetores de mansonelose e oncocercose na América do sul, destaca-se o gênero Cerqueirellum. os gêneros Coscaroniellum e Shelleyellum são filogeneticamente muito próximos a Cerqueirellum. não existia concordância quanto à validade de Cerqueirellum e Coscaroniellum como clados supra-específicos, sendo ambos os gêneros incluídos, por uma escola taxonômica, como grupos de espécies em Psaroniocompsa. neste trabalho é feita uma análise filogenética baseada em caracteres morfológicos dos três gêneros.. os gêneros Cerqueirellum, Coscaroniellum e Shelleyellum. apresentaram-se como entidades basais válidas, consistentes e monofiléticas.

Observation of the morphological characters in slide-mounted simuliids (Diptera, Simuliidae) deteriorated by age or fungus contamination

The homogeneity of the Simuliidae family has produced several taxonomic problems along the years. The studies of Brazilian Simulium Latreille, 1802 date from the beginning of the 20th century, with species described by Kollar, Macquart, Goeldi and Lutz. Lutz's scientific collection is a historical relic of scientific relevance, since it congregates types described from Brazil. Besides its taxonomic importance, this collection can now be used as a bio indicator. However, a lot of these slide-mounted specimens could not support the effects of time, constant handling, fungus and climatic conditions that occurred over the years. The development of a slide-mounted restoration technique had therefore become necessary for specimen preservation and observation.
