“…As duas localidades possuem juntas 280 casas e cerca de 1.120 habitantes e, foram implantadas praticamente na margem de uma loresta tropical chuvosa, modiicada no entorno das vilas pelo corte e queima, tradicionalmente utilizados no uso do solo. Wirth et al (1988) e Spinelli et al (2005). Os exemplares identificados estão acondicionados em álcool a 70% e depositados na coleção entomológica do LEV-UFMA.…”

Submetido em 11/03/2014 Aceito para publicação em 15/12/2014 Resumo O conteúdo estomacal de fêmeas do gênero Culicoides foi estudado para determinar suas fontes alimentares sanguíneas e o grau de relações estabelecidas entre esses insetos e seus hospedeiros. Os espécimes foram capturados em armadilhas luminosas tipo CDC no período entre março de 2009 e fevereiro de 2010, em duas localidades rurais da ilha de São Luís-MA. Foram capturadas 930 fêmeas ingurgitadas, pertencentes a 12 espécies de Culicoides. Foi utilizado o exame da reação da precipitina, que revelou o sangue de sete tipos diferentes de vertebrados que haviam sido sugados, sendo os mais frequentes: ave (41,9%), roedor (21,2%), cão (15,4%) e ser humano (7,3%). Nas reações duplas predominaram ave/cão (20%) e cão/gato, cão/gambá, ave/roedor, gambá/roedor e gato/humano (13,3% cada). Dentre as espécies de Culicoides encontradas, C. paucienfuscatus Barbosa, 1947 destacou-se, por ter sugado apenas sangue de aves. As 11 espécies restantes sugaram sangue tanto de animais domésticos como de sinantrópicos, sendo que, destas, quatro também sugaram o sangue humano. Os resultados permitiram concluir que C. paucienfuscatus apresentou relações especíicas, foi considerada ornitóila e as outras espécies foram generalistas. A presença desses animais em ambiente peridoméstico é um fator que favorece a manutenção dos Culicoides nos povoados rurais e a presença do ser humano como um dos vertebrados mais sugados indica que além de fazer parte da dieta das fêmeas de Culicoides, pode participar de eventuais ciclos epidemiológicos de parasitas, devido ao hábito eclético desses insetos.

“…Temperature is one of the main abiotic variables that influence the development of immature insects (Spinelli et al 2005, Bernotiene and Bartkeviciene 2013, Martins et al 2017. In general, higher temperature values tend to be related to higher abundance of invertebrates (Mayo et al 2014).…”

We assessed the immature stages of Ceratopogonidae (Diptera) in artificial containers in an urban forest fragment in Manaus (Brazil), including their behavioral, biological and ecological information. In addition, we evaluated the effects of deforestation in an open and forested area on Ceratopogonidae communities. Immatures were sampled between August 2012 and July 2014 in artificial containers installed in both habitat types. We collected 685 immatures of seven morpho-species of Bezzia Kieffer, Culicoides Latreille, Dasyhelea Kieffer, Forcipomyia Meigen, and Palpomyia Meigen. In the open area, we recorded higher temperature and electrical conductivity values than in the forested area; however, these variables did not differ between seasons. Water volume was higher in open area and in rainy season, while pH was similar in both areas and seasons. Species richness was higher in forested area, but did not differ between seasons. We did not record differences in abundance between areas or seasons. Community composition differed between areas, but not between seasons. We provide the first records of Culicoides (Hoffmania) insignis Lutz and C. (Haematomyidium) quasiparaensis Clastrier in artificial containers from the state of Amazonas. Our results suggest that the preservation of forested areas in Amazonas is fundamental for the maintenance of the life cycle of some species of Ceratopogonidae.

During entomological surveys in the municipalities of São Geraldo do Araguaia and Juruti, Pará (PA), Brazil, female specimens of Culicoides belonging to two undescribed species of the subgenus Haematomyidium Goeldi were collected.The purpose of this paper is to describe and illustrate these new species from Northern Brazil and make a discussion with related species of the subgenus Haematomyidium. Revisions in this subgenus for the Neotropics were made for the debilipalpis species group (Vitale et al. 1981) and for the paraensis species group (Wirth & Felippe-Bauer 1989, Felippe-Bauer et al. 2003. According to Borkent and Spinelli (2007), 36 neotropical species are recognized in this subgenus.Recently, Felippe-Bauer and Spinelli (2009) considered Culicoides bachmanni Spinelli as a junior synonym of Culicoides horticola Lutz. With this taxonomy update and the addition of the two new species described here, there are now from this subgenus 37 species from the Neotropical Region, being 18 known from Brazil and 11 from the Amazonian Region. MATERIALS AND METHODSThe specimens described herein as a new species were collected by CDC light trap in São Geraldo do Araguaia and Juruti, PA. The specimens were mounted in phenol-balsam in the manner described by Wirth and Marston (1968). The types were deposited in the Invertebrate Collection of the Emílio Goeldi Paraense Museum (MPEG), PA, and in the Ceratopogonidae Collection of the Oswaldo Cruz Institute (CCeIOC), Rio de Janeiro. Diagnostic characters were illustrated using a camera lucida attached to an Olympus BH-2 miscroscope. Microphotographies of the wings were taken with a Nikon Eclipse E-800.In this paper, we follow the terminology established in Culicoides papers by Spinelli et al. (2005). Terms for wing veins follow the system of the Manual of Nearctic Diptera (McAlpine et al. 1981), with modifications proposed by Szadziewski (1996). The measurements of the spermathecae are in micrometers and those of the wings are in millimeters. Meristic information is given as range, following by the mean and number of specimens examined.Culicoides (Haematomyidium) jurutiensis, sp. nov.( Figs 1-7)Diagnosis -Only species in the subgenus Haematomyidium with two pale spots in cell r3 and m 1, hairy eyes and moderately separated, head and proboscis nearly similar in length, moderately long palpus, subequal spermathecae, mandible with 17-18 teeth.Female -Wing length 0.84 mm (n = 2), width 0.38 mm (n = 2).Head: dark brown. Eyes (Fig. 2) separated by distance equal to diameter of 1.5 ommatidia, with numerous interommatidial spicules. Flagellum (Fig. 3) brown, with proximal 2/3 of flagellomeres 1-6 paler, flagellomeres elongate, vasiform; AR 0.85; sensilla coeloconica on flagellomeres 1, 6-8, one on 1, two on 6, three on 7-8. Palpus (Fig. 5) dark brown; third segment swollen distally, with subapical shallow, rounded pit; PR 2.7 (n = 2); PH ratio 0.91-1.00 (0.95, n = 2). Mandible with 17-18 teeth.Thorax: dark brown. Mesonotum without distinct pattern in slide mounted specimens. Legs (Fig...
