(Blanton, Galindo, and Peyton, 1955). The senior author determined the Culicoides that were collected and he cooperated in describing the numerous new species that were soon discovered.Some of these new species were described in joint papers as the work progressed, but it was soon realized that a major revision of the Panama species was needed, and we then devoted our efforts to the present paper.When our studies began, 16 species of Culicoides had been reported from

Various authors have suspected them to be vectors of fevers of undetermined origin (Huttel, et al, 1953;Loughnan, 1921;Purcell, 1937;Stephens, 1923;Wanson, 1939).…”

This catalogue dealing with the bloodsucking Ceratopogonidae of the Western Hemisphere includes 198 subspecific and specific names in Culicoides, 12 in Leptoconops and 12 in Lasiohelea, together with most of the literature references to them which had appeared up to June 1954. A subgeneric system in Culicoides based particularly on the male genitalia is proposed and eight subgenera are described or redescribed: Macfiella (new subgenus), Hoffmania, Fox, Avaritia (new subgenus), Culicoides Latreille, Selfia Khalaf, Monoculicoides Khalaf, Oecacta Poey, and Beltranmyia Vargas. The species are placed in the appropriate subgenera, as far as possible, and a key is given to the males and females of the Nearctic forms. The Geographic Index lists the species reported from the geographic units of the Western Hemisphere as well as each of the states of the United States. A brief review of the literature on biology, control, and medical importance is also included.

“…Gibson and Ascoli (1952) (1934) found that Aedomyia squamipennis, prevalent in the part of the Guatemalan onchocerciasis zone where they were working, did not ingest microfilariae from infected patients, while more than 50 percent of the Simulium flies fed on the same patients did take up microfilariae. Strong stated that the mosquito probably does not take up microfilariae because of its long proboscis, which penetrates deeply while sucking blood, with a minimum of laceration or abrasion.…”
