The faunistic knowledge of the Diptera of Morocco recorded from 1787 to 2021 is summarized and updated in this first catalogue of Moroccan Diptera species. A total of 3057 species, classified into 948 genera and 93 families (21 Nematocera and 72 Brachycera), are listed. Taxa (superfamily, family, genus and species) have been updated according to current interpretations, based on reviews in the literature, the expertise of authors and contributors, and recently conducted fieldwork. Data to compile this catalogue were primarily gathered from the literature. In total, 1225 references were consulted and some information was also obtained from online databases. Each family was reviewed and the checklist updated by the respective taxon expert(s), including the number of species that can be expected for that family in Morocco. For each valid species, synonyms known to have been used for published records from Morocco are listed under the currently accepted name. Where available, distribution within Morocco is also included. One new combination is proposed: Assuania melanoleuca (Séguy, 1941), comb. nov. (Chloropidae).

“…Culicoides (Diptera: Ceratopogonidae) are small biting midges. More than 1300 species are known [ 6 ] and several of these are vectors of arboviruses, protozoa and nematodes [ 24 , 38 ]. At least 40 species are associated with the transmission of around 50 arboviruses belonging to three families; the Peribunyaviridae (formerly Bunyaviridae [ 13 ]), Reoviridae, and Rhabdoviridae [ 25 ].…”

Diversity and seasonal abundance of Culicoides (Diptera, Ceratopogonidae) in Shizong County, Yunnan Province, China

Culicoides (Diptera, Ceratopogonidae) are small biting midges, some of which are vectors for animal associated arboviruses such as bluetongue virus (BTV) and Akabane virus (AKAV). BTV and AKAV are both pathogenic for livestock, with BTV in particular posing a major threat to domestic ruminants. Ongoing problems with BTV in ruminants in Shizong County of Yunnan Province, China, promoted a year-long investigation of the Culicoides in Shizong to determine relative abundance and seasonality of midges and to attempt to identify species that might be acting as vectors in the area. Culicoides were collected by UV light trap for one night per week for most weeks between May 2020 and May 2021. More than 21,000 specimens consisting of at least 21 species belonging to six subgenera and one unplaced group, including 5 species previously associated with BTV and one associated with AKAV, were collected. Culicoides tainanus dominated most collections throughout the year although C. sumatrae was often the dominant species over summer. Most species were abundant between May and October. These results indicate that C. tainanus, C. jacobsoni and C. oxystoma are the major midge pests of livestock in Shizong and should be considered in any disease investigation.

“…Culicoides Latreille, 1809 is one of the most species rich genera of the family Ceratopogonidae with approximately 1368 valid species, 32 subgenera, 38 species groups, and 176 unplaced species described worldwide (Borkent and Dominiak 2020); so far 76 species have been reported from India (Chatterjee et al 2020). Most female members of this genus are haematophagous and many species act as important vectors of pathogenic viruses, protozoans and filarial nematodes (Mellor et al 2000;Borkent 2005).…”

“…The ornatus species group of this genus comprises of 33 species worldwide (Nandi et al 2013;Borkent and Dominiak 2020) including 27 reported from the Oriental region (Table 1). Before this study, four species of the ornatus group have been reported from India: C. peliliouensis Tokunaga in Tokunaga and Esaki 1936, C. aequalispinus Nandi, Mazumdar & Das Gupta, 2013, C. fuscitibialis Nandi, Mazumdar & Das Gupta, 2013 Nandi, Mazumdar & Das Gupta, 2013.…”

Two new species of biting midges, Culicoides cornatussp. nov. and Culicoides pileussp. nov. are described based on adults. The new species are compared to their congeners with close similarity. All specimens were collected from the Indian Sundarban Mangrove Forests, few specimens were mounted in glass slides and few were prepared for SEM study. Total 78 species under the genus Culicoides Latreille including the two new ones (6 species from ornatus species group) are described from India. An adult key of the ornatus species group from the Oriental Region is provided.
