Dipteros da familia Blepharoceridae, observados no Brazil

An illustrated catalogue of the types of Blephariceridae (Diptera) in the collection of Museu de Zoologia da Universidade de São Paulo, Brazil

“…The first two species of Kelloggina were described at the end of the 19 th century, K. torrentium (Müller, 1881) and K. rufescens (Williston, 1893). Lutz (1920) described an additional 16 species from Rio de Janeiro, São Paulo, and Santa Catarina Brazilian states. After that, two further species were described based on male adults, K. brevicornia (Edwards, 1929) and K. chilena (Alexander, 1952), from Misiones, Argentina and Santiago, Chile, respectively (Hogue, 1971).…”

“…Comparing the species described by Lutz (1920) with Lane & d'Andretta's (1956) is a difficult task. The delimitations of Lutz's species were clearly based on the immatures; in contrast, Lane & d'Andretta's exclusive reliance on adults.…”

“…As stated by Hogue (1971), both studies focused on the same area of southeastern Brazil and there may be some overlapped species. Lutz (1920) provided useful descriptions of the immatures, which are richly illustrated, but did not provide the same treatment to adults, which are neither well described, nor well illustrated. On the other hand, Lane & d'Andretta (1956) presented superficial descriptions of adults.…”

Some net‐winged midges from Argentina (Diptera: Blephariceridae)

“…His project remains unfortunately incomplete but revealed that many species still need to be described, despite several important early studies (mainly Mü ller, 1881aMü ller, , 1881bMü ller, , 1881cMü ller, , 1881dLutz, 1920;Edwards, 1929;Lane & d'Andretta, 1956).…”
