Culicoides catherinae
Kremer, Delecolle & Braverman 1991: 151. TL Israel
(Kremer, Delecolle & Braverman 1991: 151. ♀, desc, figs)
Diagnosis and Notes
The wings are unmarked; there are
three sausage-shaped spermathecae as shown. The female has an AR of
0.89-0.92; the SD is 3, 7-10, occasionally also on 6. The authors compare
this species with C. slovacus, but differs in the shape of
the spermathecae and in having sensilla on antennal segments 6 and 7. The
male is unknown.
The figures are from Kremer, Delecolle & Braverman (1991).
