Culicoides molotovae
Glukhova & Braverman 1999: 309. TL Turkmenistan
(Glukhova & Braverman 1999: 309. ♂, ♀, desc, figs)
Diagnosis and Notes
The wing is unmarked; the female AR
is 1.06-1.11, the SD is 3-6, 11-14, occasionally also on 7 and 8. The male
genitalia closely resembles langeroni, pseudolangeroni and
judaeae.
The four species may be distinguished by the form of the spermathecae; Glukhova
& Braverman (1999) give a key to them.
The figure of the wing and spermathecae is from Glukhova & Braverman
(1999); no figure of the wing is available.
