Culicoides karajevi
Dzhafarov 1961: 77. TL Azerbaijan
(Glukhova 1989: 303. ♂, notes, figs)
Diagnosis and Notes
The wing is unmarked; the female
is unknown. The male genitalia typical of the similis group; the margin of the tergite
narrow, the ventral roots of the basistyles foot-shaped and the ninth
sternite membrane bare. The arms of the aedeagus each have a tooth-like
projection, very like that of ravus or semimaculatus.
No figure of the wing is available; the figure of the male genitalia is from
Glukhova (1989).
