MACROPYGA species-group

Prosimulium macropyga (Lundström)

NOTE: This species is a bisexual diploid, based on diploid chromosomes of larvae from the general area of the type locality (Finnish Lapland) (PHA unpublished) and a male as the type; therefore, chromosomal references to P. macropyga as a parthenogenetic triploid are treated under the P. ursinum complex, the most likely identity of these triploids)

Madahar (1967, notes on diploidy): Sweden

Prosimulium neomacropyga Peterson

NOTE: All Russian chromosomal references to P. ventosum are treated under P. neomacropyga on the basis of the chromosome map of putative P. ventosum given by Chubareva & Petrova (2008a; fig. 28), which matches, in all details, the banding sequence of P. neomacropyga . Although other Russian references to P. ventosum do not include photos, we infer that they represent either the same material or material from locations near that to which the Chubareva & Petrova (2008a, fig. 28) pertains, given that all collections are from the same area of southern Kamchatka. We do not, however, have sufficient information to determine if P. neomacropyga is synonymous with P. ventosum or merely a misidentification.
