A new species of Stilobezzia Kieffer from the neotropical region (Diptera, Ceratopogonidae)

First description of immature stages and adult females ofStilobezzia(Acanthohelea)megatheca(Diptera: Ceratopogonidae) from Patagonia

“…megatheca by the dorsal apotome wider than long, AM-1-T minute seta, AM-2-T long, thin seta with associate pore, CL-1-T and CL-2-T campaniform sensilla, the respiratory organ with 11-12 apical pores, D-2-T minute seta, D-5-I absent, L-1-I minute seta, L-2-I short seta, L-3-I long, thin seta, D-3-IV, D-4-IV and D-5-IV minute setae, D-7-IV long, thin seta, V-5-IV and V-6-IV campaniform sensilla, tubercles of segment 4 rounded and distal processes of segment 9 slightly wider than long with short tips posteriorly directed. Both species share a medium-sized respiratory organ and tips of segment 9 triangular, short and pointed, typical of ceratopogonids that live in shallow and clean waters (Cazorla et al, 2012).…”

New contributions to the knowledge of the immatures of Stilobezzia punctulata Lane and Stilobezzia fiebrigi Kieffer (Diptera: Ceratopogonidae)

“…There are at present 70 extant species of Stilobezzia inhabiting the Neotropical region (Borkent, 2012;Cazorla, 2013). However and despite the great importance of knowing the ontogeny, immatures of this genus have been poorly studied, the larvae of only 4 species and the pupae of 13 species have been described in this region (Borkent & Spinelli, 2007;Ronderos et al, 2008a;Cazorla et al 2012;Ronderos et al, 2012).…”
