Diagnosis. ( Tables 14, 15) Yellow; wing pattern distinct; r 2 dark; pale spot at end of costa bilobed and wrapping back and beneath r 2; distal pale spots present in r 3, m 1, m 2, cua 1 and anal cell; in r 3 and m 1, not close to wing margin; in r 3, almost round; mandible with 13–15 minute teeth, half normal size; pore of sensory pit on palpal segment 3 <0.3 the diameter of segment, about as deep as wide, slightly widening internally; pale banding subapical on mid femora, basal and subapical on hind femora, subapical on hind tibiae; ventro-posterior membrane of male sternite 9 not spiculate; ventral apodeme of gonocoxite simple, about as long as and only a little more slender than dorsal apodeme; aedeagus simple, nearly V-shaped, median process evenly tapering to broad rounded tip, aedeagal ratio ~0.4; parameres separate, apices simple pointed.
Distribution. Wyoming, North Dakota ( Anderson and Holloway 1993) to New York ( Guirgis 1984), south to Utah (Grand County), Colorado, Texas to Florida. Culicoides hinmani is the northern and eastern treeholeinhabiting counterpart to the morphologically similar and southwestern C. (Drymodesmyia) byersi , which known ranges overlap in only Utah and Colorado.
Larval ecology. Culicoides hinmani ’s larval habitat is moist treeholes without standing water ( Kruger et al. 1990) of pH 8.7–9.3 ( Smith and Varnell 1967; Pappas and Pappas 1990). It has been reared from treeholes in tulip tree ( Liriodendron tulipifera Linnaeus , Magnoliaceae ) ( Wirth 1952b, as C. borinqueni ), oak ( Wirth and Bottimer 1956, as C. borinqueni ), magnolia ( Magnolia grandiflora Linnaeus , Magnoliaceae ) ( Smith 1965), buckeye ( Aesculus octandra March, Sapindaceae ) ( Hair et al. 1966), boxelder, linden, persimmon, post oak, and elm ( Pappas et al. 1991).
Adult behavior. Known hosts are unspecified birds ( Smith and Varnell 1967; Blanton and Wirth 1979), humans ( Snow 1955 as C. borinqueni ; Smith and Varnell 1967; Hair 1966; Hair and Turner 1968), and turkeys ( Meleagris gallopavo ) ( Tanner and Turner 1974; Atkinson 1988); and Hair (1966) collected blood-engorged C. hinmani from drop traps baited with domestic rabbit ( Oryctolagus cuniculus ), guinea pig ( Cavia porcellus ), and rat ( Rattus ). Furthermore, consistent with bird-feeding behavior, Atkinson et al. (1983) found C. hinmani naturally infected with Haemoproteus mansoni (as H. meleagridis ), a parasite of turkeys.
Snow (1955, as C. borinqueni ) reported C. hinmani to be a diurnal biter with an afternoon activity peak from ground-level into the canopy of a Tennessee forest. This diurnal feeding behavior may explain why C. hinmani was poorly represented in light traps, but readily collected in CO 2 -baited traps, in the present study ( Table 4).
