Culicoides (Beltranmyia) pampoikilus: Vargas 1960: 38 View in CoL (assignment to subgenus Beltranmyia View in CoL ).
Diagnosis. ( Tables 14, 15) Cell r 2 dark; distal pale spot in r 3 irregular, equidistant between r 2 and wing tip, slightly C-shaped, thinly connected along posterior margin of cell with small spot at apex of cell to form a U; M 1 dark on female; pale spot at ~0.5 on M 2 isolated on female, enlarged and merged with pale bands on M 1 and CuA 1 on male; distal pale spot in m 1 at wing margin; two distal pale spots in anal cell, merged on male to form a broad 8-shape; sensory pit on palpal segment 3 about as deep as wide, widening internally, pore ~0.3 as wide as segment (as in Fig. 249 C. hinmani ); ventro-posterior membrane of male sternite 9 not spiculate; ventral apodeme of gonocoxite simple; aedeagus Y-shaped, median process broad, tapering abruptly at ~0.6 to slender blunt fingerlike tip; parameres separate, apical portion simple curved filiform.
Distribution. Arizona, New Mexico, Veracruz, Oaxaca, Chiapas, Costa Rica, Panama, Venezuela.
Adult behavior. The mandibular and lacinial teeth on the female indicate it feeds on vertebrate blood; however, its hosts are unknown.
Remarks. Atchley collected a single female at light at 2160 m 16 June 1965 (erroneously reported in Atchley [1967] as 16 July 1965) in Lincoln County, New Mexico. Wirth et al. (1985) does not report C. pampoikilus from New Mexico but instead reports C. daedalus , calling into question the identification. However, I examined Atchley’s female (still labeled as C. pampoikilus ) and a C. pampoikilus male collected by Frommer in Cochise County, Arizona, 1 August 1967 (misidentified as C. cochisensis ), and found they match the C. pampoikilus redescriptions by Wirth and Blanton (1959) from Panama specimens—and more so for the male than Atchley’s (1967) redescription from a Costa Rican specimen.
