Culicoides bahrainensis
Boorman 1989: 177. TL Bahrain
(Boorman 1989: 177. ♂, ♀, description, figs, fig. of wing)
Diagnosis and Notes
Another species, with badooshensis,
which is very similar to kurensis. The wing is pale with a line
of pale spots across the wing below the second radial cell, in m1, m2 and cu,
but the wing is paler than in badooshensis and considerably
paler than in kurensis. The female AR is 1.33-1.44,
and the SD is 3-9, 11-15 with very occasionally a sensillum also on 10. The
male genitalia are very like badooshensis, but the ninth
sternite membrane is spiculate.
The figure is from Boorman (1989); the wing is not illustrated here.
