Culicoides (Drymodesmyia) arizonensis Wirth and Hubert View in CoL
(Fig. 111, 164, 215)
Culicoides (Oecacta) arizonensis Wirth and Hubert, 1960: 655 View in CoL (key; numerical characters; female; male genitalia; fig. female wing, palpus, spermathecae, male genitalia, parameres; Arizona).
Culicoides (Drymodesmyia) arizonensis: Wirth 1965: 130 View in CoL (placement in subgenus Drymodesmyia View in CoL ). Wirth et al. 1985: 14 (numerical characters; fig. female wing). Wirth et al. 1988: 24 (numerical characters; fig. female wing). Borkent and Spinelli 2000: 30 (in Neotropical catalog).
Diagnosis. ( Tables 14, 15) Dark brown; wing pattern distinct; r 2 dark; distal pale spot in r 3 nearly filling distal 0.3–0.4 of cell, cut into on proximal side by dark spot; pale spots at ~0.3 on M 1 and ~0.5 on M 2; one pale spot in distal half of anal cell; tips of M 1, M 2 dark; CuA 1 and CuA 2 within dark areas; pore of sensory pit on palpal segment 3 ~0.3 the diameter of segment, widening internally (as in Fig. 248 C. sitiens ); femora and tibiae without subapical pale band; spermathecae unequal by ~1.5×, pyriform; ventro-posterior membrane of male sternite 9 densely spiculate; ventral apodeme of gonocoxite simple, ~0.5 as long as dorsal apodeme; aedeagus V-shaped, truncate tip ~0.25 width of arm spread, aedeagal ratio ~0.6; parameres separate, apices simple pointed bent.
Distribution. California, Arizona, Baja California.
Larval ecology and adult behavior. Culicoides arizonensis has been reared from rot holes in Carnegiea gigantea ( Ryckman 1960) and in Pachycereus schottii (Engelmann) D. R. Hunt (Cactaceae) ( Wirth and Hubert 1960). However, its adult hosts are unknown, though the mandibular and lacinial teeth on the female indicate it feeds on vertebrate blood.
