“…Coscarón (1982) first proposed the S. subpallidum species group in Chirostilbia; he later recognized two species groups: the subpallidum and pertinax species groups, containing 3 and 11 species, respectively (Coscarón 1987(Coscarón , 1991. In addition, Py-Daniel & Moreira (1988) and grouped three other species (S. empascae Py-Daniel, Souza & Caldas, S. distinctum Lutz, and S. riograndense Py-Daniel) in the distinctum species group. However, Coscarón (1991) and Crosskey & Howard (2004) did not recognize the distinctum species group and maintained only the subpallidum and pertinax species groups.…”

Simulium jefersoni n. sp. is described based on adults, pupae, and larvae collected in Chapada Diamantina National Park and the surrounding area, in the state of Bahia, Brazil. Its affinities with other species, distribution, and biology in Brazil are presented. The immature stages of S. jefersoni n. sp. were found in 44% of the 68 streams sampled in the study area. Females did not bite humans in the field.

“…Species in the subgenus S. (Inaequalium) are typically associated with pristine mountain streams and have been recorded at a wide range of altitudes (Pepinelli et al 2005b(Pepinelli et al , 2006. The two most recently described species were collected from high-altitude streams associated with inselbergs in Chapada Diamantina National Park (Pepinelli et al 2006) and Pico da Neblina National Park (Py-Daniel & Barbosa 2007).…”

Cytotaxonomic studies of black flies have repeatedly demonstrated the value of chromosomal characters in elucidating phylogenetic relationships, revealing sibling species and providing diagnostic aids for species identification (Rothfels 1988, Adler et al. 2004). In Brazil, numerous black flies have been investigated cytotaxonomically (e.g., Campos et al. 1996, Charalambous et al. 1996, Hamada & Adler 1999, Luz 1999, Ríos-Velásquez et al. 2002, Pereira 2004. While chromosomal studies are often essential in revealing sibling species and resolving relationships, the strongest taxonomic and phylogenetic resolution of black flies comes from a combined chromosomal-morphological approach. This approach has permitted an analysis of species diversity in the Amazon Basin that is more critical than has been possible using the conventional morphotaxonomic approach alone.Various subgeneric classifications have been used for Neotropical black flies. Crosskey and Howard (1997) and Crosskey (2002), for example, recognize the Neotropical subgenus Psaroniocompsa, with 38 species and 5 species groups. Py-Daniel (1983) and Coscarón (1987) subgenera Cerqueirellum and Coscaroniellum, respectively. Py-Daniel and Sampaio (1995) ranked these two subgenera as genera. Cytogenetic techniques can provide independent assessments of these phylogenetic hypotheses and yield insight into classification issues.The objective of the present study is to resolve the chromosomal differences between Simulium cauchense Floch & Abonnenc and Simulium quadrifidum Lutz, two members of the subgenus Psaroniocompsa (Crosskey & Howard 1997), and to evaluate the usefulness of morphological discriminators previously used for the larvae. S. cauchense is known from Brazil, French Guiana, Guyana, and Venezuela, whereas S. quadrifidum, with a slightly broader distribution, is known from Bolivia, Brazil, Colombia, Ecuador, French Guiana, Guyana, Suriname, and Venezuela. MATERIALS AND METHODSLarvae were collected from 15 streams in the states of Amapá, Amazonas, Rondônia, and Roraima (Fig. 1). S. quadrifidum was collected at 13 sites and S. cauchense at 6; the latter species was not collected in the state of Rondônia. Most collections were made in 2000 and 2001, although two collections were made in 1997 and one each was made in 1996, 1999, 2002, and 2003 (Table I).Larvae were hand collected from all available substrates and fixed in Carnoy's solution (1 part glacial acetic acid: 3 parts absolute ethanol); the fixative was changed 3 or 4 times in the field and the samples were maintained on ice. In the laboratory, the fixative was changed once more and the samples were held at 4°C, pending chromosomal analysis. The following morphological characters of final-instar larvae were evaluated for their utility in species identification: presence of dark spots on the cephalic rays (PyDaniel 1983), branching pattern of the dorsal abdominal setae (Hamada et al. 2003), body pigmentation pattern, and branching pattern of the gill histoblast (Shelley et al. 1997, Hamada & Gri...
