  • Forcipomyia synthyridomyia murina winnertz 1852 in south america synonymy and redescription diptera ceratopogonidae
    Biología Acuática, 2018
    Co-Authors: Gustavo Ricardo Spinelli, Pablo Ignacio Marino
    Abstract:

    Both sexes of the hitherto Holarctic, Afrotropical and Oriental species Forcipomyia (Synthyridomyia) murina (Winnertz, 1852) are redescribed and the species is firstly recorded from Argentina (Salta, La Rioja, Santiago del Estero, Cordoba, Corrientes, Buenos Aires and Rio Negro provinces). Forcipomyia (S.) calchaqui Spinelli & Marino, 1997 and Forcipomyia (S.) soibelzoni Marino & Spinelli, 2001 are recognized as its junior synonyms. A key for the identification of the four species of the subgenus that inhabit the Neotropical region is also presented, and F. murina is compared with the most similar Old World species.

  • A distinctive new species of biting midge in the subgenus Euprojoannisia Brèthes from Mexico with new records of Neotropical species of Forcipomyia Meigen (Diptera: Ceratopogonidae).
    Zootaxa, 2017
    Co-Authors: Herón Huerta, Gustavo Ricardo Spinelli
    Abstract:

    A new species of biting midge, Forcipomyia ( Euprojoannisia ) bibaana , is described and illustrated from an adult male collected in the state Oaxaca, Mexico. The first records of Forcipomyia ( E .) mortuifolii Saunders, F . ( Lasiohelea ) cornuta Saunders and F . ( L .) stylifer (Lutz) are provided from Mexico as well as the first record of F . ( L .) anitae Huerta & Ibanez-Bernal from Guatemala.

  • Two New Species of Biting Midges of the Genus Forcipomyia Meigen from Ecuador (Diptera: Ceratopogonidae)
    Annales Zoologici, 2017
    Co-Authors: Sabrina I. Hochman, Pablo Ignacio Marino, Gustavo Ricardo Spinelli
    Abstract:

    Abstract. Adults of two new species of biting midges in the subgenera Lepidohelea Kieffer and MetaForcipomyia Saunders of the genus Forcipomyia Meigen, F. (L.) ivani sp. nov. and F. (M.) aidae sp. nov., are described from specimens collected in Imbabura province, Ecuador at 2,320 meters above sea level. Color photographs and illustrations are provided of males and females of both new species which are compared with similar, related congeners in their respective subgenera. We also provide the first record of F. (Forcipomyia) catarinensis Marino & Spinelli from Ecuador.

  • A revision of Biting Midges of the Subgenera Forcipomyia ( MetaForcipomyia ) and F . ( Saliohelea ) from Costa Rica (Diptera: Ceratopogonidae)
    Zootaxa, 2012
    Co-Authors: Gustavo Ricardo Spinelli, Pablo Ignacio Marino, Art Borkent
    Abstract:

    The Costa Rican species of the subgenus Forcipomyia (MetaForcipomyia) Saunders are revised, primarily based on males. Fourteen new species are described and illustrated, F. (M.) pluvialis Malloch is redescribed, and a key to males and females is provided. One new species of the subgenus Forcipomyia (Saliohelea) Wirth & Ratanaworabhan is described and illustrated and F. (S.) leei Wirth & Ratanaworabhan is redescribed. Forcipomyia (Euprojoannisia) pechumani Bystrak & Wirth is transferred to the subgenus F. (Saliohelea). All adult F. (MetaForcipomyia) lack a hind tibial comb and males have antennal flagellomeres 5–8 fused and these are proposed synapomorphies of the subgenus. A truncate labrum is present in F. pluvialis, F. rivalis n. sp. and F. truncata n. sp. and is a derived feature indicating these species form a monophyletic group. We were unable to suggest a synapomorphy indicating the monophyly of F. (Saliohelea). Nearly all Costa Rican members of the subgenera F. (MetaForcipomyia) and F. (Saliohelea) are restricted to wet habitats and are excluded from the dry northwestern portion of this country. Eleven of the 15 new species described herein are present in the lowlands of Costa Rica, suggesting they are actually more broadly distributed to the north and/or south.

  • Wing pattern variation in the Patagonian biting midge, Forcipomyia (Forcipomyia) multipicta Ingram & Macfie (Diptera, Ceratopogonidae)
    Revista de la Sociedad Entomológica Argentina, 2012
    Co-Authors: Gustavo Ricardo Spinelli, Pablo Ignacio Marino, Melina Mauad
    Abstract:

    Examination of the type-series and non-type specimens of the Patagonian biting midge, Forcipomyia (Forcipomyia) multipicta Ingram & Macfie (Diptera: Ceratopogonidae), revealed considerable variation in wing patterns of both sexes. One pattern includes several distinct light spot areas, whereas another pattern (e.g, in the holotype) only features marginal light spots in cell r 3 , while other light spots are barely perceptible or absent. The cause(s) of the differential lack of dark macrotrichia in certain areas of the wing membrane in specimens of some series could not be attributed either to their age, sex, or method of preservation.

  • The fourth instar larva and pupa of the Neotropical biting midge Forcipomyia (Forcipomyia) rioplatensis Marino and Spinelli (Diptera: Ceratopogonidae)
    2020
    Co-Authors: Spinelli, Gustavo Ricardo, Marino, Pablo Ignacio, Ronderos, María Marcela
    Abstract:

    he fourth instar larva and pupa of the Neotropical biting midge, Forcipomyia (Forcipomyin) rioplntensis Marino and Spinelli, are described and illustrated using phase-contrast and scanning electron microscopes. Larvae, pupae and adults of Forcipomyin rioplatensis were collected from nests of the monk parakeet, Myiopsittcl rnonnchus monnchrrs (Boddaert), in San Vicente, Buenos Aires Province, Argentina. Larvae have character states typical of other species of Forcipomyin with herbivorous ceratopogonid larvae. This species is compared with its very similar Nearctic congener, Forcipomyin (F.) bipunctatrapropinqua Chan and LeRoux.Facultad de Ciencias Naturales y Muse

    Abstract:

    A new species of the Forcipomyia (Forcipomyia) argenteola group, F. (F.) donatoi, is described and illustrated from males and females collected in several localities of northern Argentina and in Paraguay. The new species is compared with the similar congeners F. (F.) marini and F. (F.) uramaensis, both from Venezuela. The following three species: Forcipomyia (F.) argenteola, F. (F.) calatheae and F. (F.) quatei are recorded for the first time from Argentina, and a key is presented for the identification of the seven Neotropical species of the group.Facultad de Ciencias Naturales y Muse

    2020
    Co-Authors: Cazorla, Carla Gisela, Marino, Pablo Ignacio, Díaz, María Florentina, Campos, Raúl Ernesto
    Abstract:

    Se presenta el primer relevamiento de Ceratopogonidae de la Reserva Natural Integral Punta Lara, en la provincia de Buenos Aires. Este área protegida representa uno de los relictos más australes de la selva en galería, donde el conocimiento de la fauna de insectos es aún limitado. Las capturas se realizaron en ambientes de pastizal y selva en galería, con trampas Malaise y trampas de luz, tipo CDC y embudo. Un total de 4.195 especímenes pertenecientes a nueve géneros y 39 especies de Ceratopogonidae fueron identificados. Se brinda un listado de las especies presentes en el área, y se proveen datos de su distribución geográfica. Veintitrés especies se citan en la Reserva por primera vez, mientras que Dasyhelea mediomunda Minaya, Forcipomyia (Forcipomyia) taragui Marino, Spinelli & Cazorla, Forcipomyia (Microhelea) fuliginosa (Meigen), Stilobezzia (Eukraiohelea) elegantula (Johannsen) y Stilobezzia (Stilobezzia) punctulata Lane se registran por primera vez en la provincia de Buenos Aires.We present the results of the first survey on the Ceratopogonidae from the “Reserva Natural Integral Punta Lara”, in Buenos Aires province. This protected area represents the southernmost relict of gallery forest where the knowledge of the insect fauna is still limited. Catches were conducted in areas of grassland and marginal forest with Malaise traps, CDC light traps and funnel light traps. A total of 4,195 specimens belonging to nine genera and 39 species of Ceratopogonidae were identified. A list of the species present in the protected area is provided, along with their distributional data. Twenty-three species are recorded from the reserve for the first time, while Dasyhelea mediomunda Minaya, Forcipomyia (Forcipomyia) taragui Marino, Spinelli & Cazorla, Forcipomyia (Microhelea) fuliginosa (Meigen), Stilobezzia (Eukraiohelea) elegantula (Johannsen) and Stilobezzia (Stilobezzia) punctulata Lane are recorded for the first time in Buenos Aires province.Facultad de Ciencias Naturales y MuseoCentro de Estudios Parasitológicos y de VectoresInstituto de Limnología "Dr. Raúl A.
