Culicoides pusillus Lutz, 1913: 52 View in CoL . Wirth 1969b: 577 [record]; Linsley 1977: 38 [checklist]; Borkent 1991: 112 [review]; Peck 1996: 122 [mode of introduction]; Peck et al. 1998: 228 [introduced species]; Causton et al. 2006: 133 [introduced species].

Distribution. Introduced ( Wirth 1969b). Nearctic, Neotropical; Galápagos: Santa Cruz.

Remarks. Blood-sucking species, breeding in rotting cultivated plant materials and its presence in Galápagos is likely the result of human introduction ( Wirth 1969b; Causton et al. 2006).
