Abstract:

Objective To study the species distribution and taxonomy of Culicoides (Fastus) in China. Methods Midges were captured using bed nets, light traps, and insect nets. Results A total of 12 species of Culicoides (Fastus) were recorded in China, including Culicoides (Fastus) mingshanensis sp. nov. The distribution of the 12 known species in China and the measurements of their major differential characteristics were described to compile an index list. Conclusion This study provides a reference for investigating the species distribution and taxonomy of Culicoides (Fastus) in China. C. mingshanensis sp. nov. has similar wing spots as C. festivipennis Kieffer, 1914, but the latter is distinctly different in the sensilla coeloconica of antenna situated on segments 3-15 and the third segment of palpus with sensory pit. The type specimen of the new species is deposited at the Shenyang Military Command Centre for Disease Control and Prevention (Shenyang 110034, China).

摘要:

目的 研究中国库蠓属傲蠓亚属的种类分布和分类。方法 采用人帐诱、诱虫灯诱和挥网法采集蠓。结果 中国库蠓属傲蠓亚属现知12种,其中包括1新种:名山库蠓Culicoides(Fastus)mingshanensis sp. nov.。记述了中国库蠓属傲蠓亚属已知12种在国内的分布,主要鉴别特征的测量值,编制分种检索表。结论 为中国库蠓属傲蠓亚属的种类分布和分类研究提供了科学依据。名山库蠓的翅班与秀茎库蠓(Culicoides festivipennis Kieffer,1914)相近似,但后者触角嗅觉器分布在3~15节,触须第3节有感觉器窝与本新种明显不同。新种模式标本保存在沈阳军区疾病预防控制中心(沈阳110034)。
