03FC805BEA7BFFBFC185FBAFFC53FDCC.taxon	discussion	Remarks. Because only from female is known it is provisionally included in the Daedalus group, by vein m 2 with straddling pale spot, palpal pit broad, deep, and opening by a small pore and sensilla coeloconica present on flagellomeres 1, 9 – 13. It is distinguished from all other members of the Daedalus group by the two elongated sack-like spermathecae and a pale spot over the r-m crossvein limited to anterior radial vein, not extended to costal wing margin. Culicoides commatis Wirth & Blanton from Panama, also have the distal pale spot in cell r 3 with a faint distal extension from its posterior side; however, this a smaller species (wing length 1.02 mm), antenna with sensilla coeloconica on flagellomeres 1, 3, 5, 7 and 9 – 13, macrotrichia are more abundant and two rounded spermathecae with short necks.	en	Huerta, Herón, Spinelli, Gustavo R., Grogan Jr, William L.

03FC805BEA74FFBEC185FD54FC53FF00.taxon	discussion	Remarks. This new species is typical member of the subgenus Diphaomyia by the characters given by the male genitalia and the cibarial armature, but with reduced wing pattern of pale spots. This Mexican species is related to two Nearctic species, Culicoides erikae Atchley & Wirth (USA: New Mexico, Utah, Arizona,) and C. footei Wirth & Jones (USA: Virginia; Ontario and Quebec south to Nebraska, Mississippi and Florida). Culicoides erikae is differs from these related species by the absence of the pale spots in the cell cua 1. Culicoides footei and C. tzotzil have a very similar pattern of pale areas in the wing, but this new species is distinguished by the pale spots straddling middle of vein M 2 (absent in C. footei) and by the absence of a pale spot lying in front of mediocubital fork, which is present in C. footei. The male genitalia is very similar except by the distomedian process of aedeagus with conspicuously serrations in C. footei, absent in C. tzotzil. At the moment no Neotropical species of this group has a reduced pattern of pale spots and the species Nearctic are included in the Culicoides haematopotus group (Atchley & Wirth 1979).	en	Huerta, Herón, Spinelli, Gustavo R., Grogan Jr, William L.

03FC805BEA76FFBCC185FEFFFD3EFE78.taxon	discussion	Remarks. This species was included in the subgenus Oecacta in the catalogue of species south of the USA by Wirth (1974). Subsequently Wirth et al. (1988), Borkent & Spinelli (2000, 2007) and Borkent & Dominiak (2020) did not place this species to subgenus or species group. Since its original description, the type specimens had not been reviewed until recently by HH that allowed him to find several mistakes in the original description. For example, the female Allotype designated by Vargas (1955) is not conspecific with the male holotype. However, it is conspecific with C. (Beltranmyia) crepuscularis Malloch. This female is slide mounted in Canada balsam and is in a poor condition as it lacks wings, and its legs coloration does not agree with the male holotype of C. neghmei Vargas. Finally, the illustration of the holotype male paramere by Vargas (1955) does not agree with our observation of this specimen. Based on our examination of the male holotype and paratype, we concluded that this species is very closely related to C. luglani Jones & Wirth (1958). Specific differences are observed in relation to the femur of the hind leg. For example, C. luglani has a narrow distal pale band on the hind legs (Jones & Wirth 1958) or a prominent subapical pale band (Phillips 2022), whereas C. neghmei lacks this distal pale band. Therefore, it is likely that both species are conspecific. Given the poor condition of specimens of C. neghmei, we suggest that this species is closely related to C. luglani and that both species are likely in the Limai species group.	en	Huerta, Herón, Spinelli, Gustavo R., Grogan Jr, William L.

03FC805BEA77FFBCC185FE18FC51F98C.taxon	discussion	Remarks. This species has been placed in different species groups over time. For example, Khalaf (1954) included in the guttipennis species group, Wirth & Hubert (1960) in the copiosus species group, Wirth (1974) and Forattini (1957) in the subgenus Oecacta and Wirth et al. (1988) and all subsequent catalogs in miscellaneous unplaced species. Wirth et al. (1988) refer to figure 228 as Culicoides propinquus, when comparing and examining the photograph of the male holotype, is not specific to this species. Our examination of photographs of the genitalia of the male holotype (Fig. 105), palpus (Fig. 104) and wing pattern (Fig. 33), indicates that it is a typical member of the subgenus Drymodesmyia, which is consistent with the diagnosis of Wirth & Hubert (1960) by the following characters; third palpal segment greatly swollen, wing with dende setae; wing pattern of well defined, rounded pale spots, a pale spot present straddling middle of vein M 2, pale spot in cell cua 1 that widenes toward vein CuA 1, r-m crossvein pale; four apical tibial spines; male genitalia with well-developed apicolateral process, dorsal and ventral roots of gonocoxite simple, parameres short with basal knob directed laterobasally, stem swollen at base, without ventral lobe, the apex slender, simple and twisted, and aedeagus short, broad with low basal arch and stout basal arms.	en	Huerta, Herón, Spinelli, Gustavo R., Grogan Jr, William L.

03FC805BEA77FFBBC185F945FAEAFC6E.taxon	discussion	Remarks. Our examination of the type material of Culicoides wirthomyia Vargas, represented by three slides, only allows comparison of the wing (Fig. 37) and male genitalia since the rest of the body is missing. Forattini (1957) reviewed a paratype and indicated that the specimen belongs to the genus Dasyhelea, as Dasyhelea wirthomyia (Vargas), despite that he did not indicate which of the three paratypes of the type series he examined. In the original description, Vargas (1953 b) indicated that one paratype specimen was deposited in the collection of the Natural History Museum of Washington, D. C. Vargas (1960) indicated that Culicoides wirthomyia is very closely related to or identical to Culicoides jamaicensis. After the revision of the male genitalia of the three specimens of the type series of C. wirthomyia, we determined that it is conspecific with C. jamaicensis and therefore it is a junior synonym of that species.	en	Huerta, Herón, Spinelli, Gustavo R., Grogan Jr, William L.

03FC805BEA65FFAEC185FB85FD9CF9DF.taxon	discussion	Note: Vargas (1954, 1958) and Vargas & Garza (1959) relate the record of this species for Mexico, nevertheless not include date of the locality, only mentions in list of species known for the country. Forattini (1957) show the distribution in Trinidad and cites to Vargas´ record in Mexico City (Distrito Federal). Wirth (1974) assinated the Trinidad record to C. guyanensis Floch & Abonnenc. In all subsequent catalogs of the Neotropical region and part of Mexico (Wirth et al. 1988, Borkent & Spinelli, 2000, 2007, Mendez & Ibañez, 2023) no reference to this species. Phillips (2022) reassigned this species to the subgenus Haematomyidium, and indicated a broadly distribution in North America (Idaho, Montana to Nova Scotia, south to California, Utah, Florida), Mexico, Trinidad and Venezuela. We consider the record of this species in Mexico not confirmed. Acoording to Phillips (2022) this species is very similar to C. kettei Breidenbaugh & Mullens. Specimens not available for study.	en	Huerta, Herón, Spinelli, Gustavo R., Grogan Jr, William L.
