Culicoides subschultzei Cornet & Brunhes 1994: 158. TL South Africa.
Diagnosis and Notes
The wings are greyish with
numerous pale spots as in others of the group; but there is only a
single elongated pale spot in the cubital cell, and two pale spots in cell
m2, one near the wing margin and another at the base of the cell. The extent
of these markings is very variable, however. The female SD is 3, 8-10. The
male genitalia virtually identical as shown for C. oxystoma; the ninth
sternite membrane spiculate.
The exact identity of specimens of subschultzei/oxystoma
from the Palaearctic region, North Africa through Egypt & Israel, Greece
and Turkey to Iraq is open to question; but it seems better to reserve the
name subschultzei for Afrotropical
specimens only. See remarks under C. oxystoma data sheet 122.
