Culicoides amossovae Remm 1971: 205. TL Russia
(Glukhova 1989: 276. ♂, ♀, notes, figs)
Diagnosis and Notes
The wing is greyish, with three pale spots; one over the cross-vein, reaching the costa, one just beyond the second radial cell, and another at the base of the wing. The female AR is 1.5-1.6; the SD is 3-15. The male genitalia are as shown, the ninth sternite membrane bare and the ventral roots of the basistyles long and tapering. Glukhova compares it with C. truncorum or subsylvarum, but the ventral roots are not foot-shaped.
The figures are from Glukhova (1989).
