“…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.

É caracterizado um novo gênero neotropical de simulídeo, com base nas espécies previamente incluídas no "Grupo Siolii", do gênero Psaroniocompsa. Chaves de identificação para imaturos são apresentadas. O gênero Shelleyellum fica constituído pelas espécies: S. damascenoi (Py-Daniel,1988), S. guaporense (Py-Daniel, 1989), S. lourencoi (Py-Daniel, 1988), S. siolli (Py-Daniel, 1988), S. tergospinosum (Hamada, 2000). O gênero é caracterizado, principalmente, pela de carena longitudinal nos distímeros dos machos e a presença de tubérculos tegumentares nas larvas.

During studies on the taxonomy of the Simuliidae of Brazil, a new species of Simulium was found. Full descriptions of the adults and pupae of this species are described here, its affinities with other species are discussed and its distribution, biology, and medical importance in Brazil are recorded.Key words: Simuliidae -Neotropical region -taxonomy -Simulium lobatoi -onchocerciasis -Mato Grosso -Goiás -BrazilThe discovery of several onchocerciasis foci in Central and South America has greatly contributed to our present knowledge of the systematics of Simuliidae in the Neotropical Region. In Brazil, the disease was first discovered 30 years ago in the states of Roraima and Amazonas (Shelley 1988) and, more recently, in Minaçu, state of Goiás (Maia-Herzog et al. 1999). Several revisionary studies on the epidemiology and dispersal of this disease have been published in the last decade (Py-Daniel 1997, Shelley et al. 1997, 2001a, Shelley 2002 together with the description of several new species and species complexes, as collecting efforts and taxonomic research continue on this morphologically homogeneous group (e.g. Coscarón et al. 1992, Charalambous et al. 1996, Hamada & Adler 1998a, b, 1999, Hamada 2000, Strieder & Coscarón 2000, Strieder & Py-Daniel 2000, Shelley et al. 2001b, Hamada et al. 2003. Further collecting of simuliids in the states of Mato Grosso and Goiás has revealed the presence of a new species, which is described in this paper. MATERIALS AND METHODSThe techniques for collection, dissection, and measurements of specimens as well as the terminology used in the species description are those detailed in Shelley et al. (1997Shelley et al. ( , 2000Shelley et al. ( , 2002. Images illustrating the morphology were obtained directly from the specimens using a Synoptics composite image analysis system (Shelley et al. 2000) and have been stored on CDs in The Natural History Museum, London (BMNH). Type specimens have been deposited in the Entomology Departments of the BMNH and the Oswaldo Cruz Institute (IOC), as indicated in material examined. Head -Dichoptic with dark red eyes and nudiocular area well developed (Fig. 1). Frons, clypeus, and occiput black, with silvery grey pruinosity; clypeus and frons covered with semi-recumbent brown hairs. Mouthparts and maxillary palps dark brown. Antennae with scape and pedicel yellowish brown, rest of flagellum dark brown. Cibarium with well developed, sclerotised cornuae and without teeth (Fig. 2). Thorax -Scutum dark brown with evenly arranged, recumbent, whitish setae, interspersed with fine, semi-recumbent brown setae; posterior margin with long dark hairs. Scutal pattern varying slightly with illumination. With anterior illumination, thorax dark brown with 1+1 submedian, white vittae, beginning near anterior border of scutum and curving towards mid line in anterior fourth of scutum from where they diverge to lateral margins, terminating at a point two thirds of length of scutum; 1 median, fine, vitta beginning on anterior margin and running in a straight line for...
