Culicoides (Monoculicoides) variipennis (Coquillett) View in CoL

Ceratopogon variipennis Coquillett, 1901: 602 View in CoL (Virginia, New Jersey, Mexico).

Culicoides variipennis: Kieffer 1906: 55 View in CoL (combination); Holbrook et al. 2000: 68 (genetic analysis and revision of complex; distribution).

Culicoides variipennis variipennis: Wirth and Jones 1957: 12 View in CoL (Virginia syntype designated lectotype; revision of variipennis complex).

Culicoides (Monoculicoides) variipennis: Khalaf 1954: 40 View in CoL ; Borkent and Spinelli 2000: 36 (in catalog of the Americas south of the USA; distribution); Borkent and Grogan 2009: 15 (in Nearctic catalog; distribution).

Discussion. This species primarily inhabits the eastern forest of North America east of the 100 th Meridian from Nova Scotia, southern Ontario and Quebec, south to Texas and Florida, with outlying populations in southern British Columbia, Washington and Montana, and Mexico ( Borkent and Grogan 2009; Holbrook et al. 2000; Wirth and Jones 1957). This species is known only in México from Distrito Federal and the nearby state of México ( Holbrook et al. 2000); we relist these two earlier records and provide additional new records from Distrito Federal and the state of México.

Previous records. Distrito Federal, O. W. Barrett, 1 female (syntype, in USNM) ; México, Ixtapan de la Sal , 5,500´Mex., Mex. 9 VIII 1954, J. G. Chillcott, 1 female (in Canadian National Collection, Ottawa; listed in Holbrook et al. 2000) .

New records. Distrito Federal, San Jacinto, 1931-1932, A. Dampf, light trap, 3 females. M\éxico, Otumba, Coyotepec, 24 May 14-June 2007, Z. D. Hdez, Malaise trap, 1 female.
