“…Use of gynandromorphs for taxonomic purposes has precedent. Smart (1945) noted that description of a gynandromorph by Puri (1933) helped with taxonomic difficulties regarding segregation of Simulium and Eusimulium.…”

Investigations in the 1970s of Leucocytozoon tawaki Fallis, Bisset & Allison, a blood parasite of New Zealand’s Fiordland Crested Penguins (Eudyptes pachyrhynchus Gray) parasites normally transmitted by female simuliids resulted in the trapping of some 20 thousand female Austrosimulium (Austrosimulium) adults, attracted to captive penguins. Three species were involved: Austrosimulium (A.) australense (Schiner), A. (A.) dumbletoni Crosby and A. (A.) ungulatum Tonnoir. Of those adults trapped, 24 were gynandromorphs; one other was obtained from elsewhere. Austrosimulium dumbletoni has only its female adult described; the two other species have all their stages known. Eight gynandromorphs of A. dumbletoni have been identified and elsewhere will be used formally to describe, for the first time, the male of this species. Here, synoptic descriptions of the gynandromorphs are provided.

“…Although it is impossible to be certain of the species that Fries described under the name P. hirtipes, it seems reasonable to accept as probably correct the re-definition of the species in Europe by Edwards (1915) and Puri (1925) and followed by subsequent writers (Smart, 1945). Edwards (1927) gave reasons for applying Fries' name to the dark-legged Prosimulium found in N. Europe.…”

“…

THE question of the identity of the common and sometimes obnoxious blackfly, known to various writers dealing with the fauna of different parts of the Holarctic region as Prosimulium hirtipes Fries, 1824, has been raised several times (Smart, 1945). Edwards (1915) ascribed Fries' name to the N. European species and his diagnosis has been accepted as correct by the majority of subsequent writers.

“…THOSE species of the Simuliid fauna of the Ethiopian region ascribed to Cnephia by Smart (1945) and by Freeman & de Meillon (1953) were considered by Rubtzov (1962) to be sufficiently distinct to comprise a separate genus, Parucnephia. This genus falls between Prosimulium Roubaut and Cnephia Enderlein, sharing some characteristics of both.…”
