Culicoides expallens
Remm 1973: 176. Mongolia
(Remm 1973: 172. ♂, ♀, desc, figs)
(Glukhova 1989: 372. ♂, ♀, notes, figs)
Diagnosis and Notes
The wing markings are rather vague,
but in general much like those of C. grisescens. The male genitalia
are very like those of C. riethi; the female spermatheca has the form of an
elongated sac with a long neck. The female AR is 0.81-0.92; the SD 3,8-10.
The figures of the male genitalia and spermatheca are from Glukhova (1989);
that of the wing from Mirzaeva (1989).
