Generally, regional keys are more useful for identification but the material I examined was seriously limited and often included reared species representing genera which were otherwise unknown within a given region as immatures. The inclusion of distributions for each keyed genus, based on all stages, will help to exclude some taxa for those keying material from a given area. A key to the known subgenera of Forcipomyia is also included.</p> <p>Each of the families of Culicomorpha was keyed by Borkent (2012). Ceratopogonidae are the only Diptera with a curved S-shaped hind leg lying under the wing, with the terminal process at the apex of the abdomen either lobe-shaped or tapering to a point, without abdominal spiracles on segments 5–7 (or elsewhere on the abdomen) and a respiratory organ with at least some apical pores (many with additional subapical pores). Some ceratopogonid pupae are superficially quite similar to those of some Psychodidae but can be distinguished by their S-shaped hind leg.</p> <p>In the following key I have attempted to key out common taxa first and to use features that can be seen in material preserved in alcohol or glycerin. Regrettably, for some genera, slide mounting is required and in such instances, readers are strongly urged to read the materials and methods section—poorly mounted specimens and especially those that are crushed by coverslips, are often miserable to identify. Well prepared material is always of benefit in using keys to insects but is particularly important with ceratopogonid pupae. If pupae, and especially pupal exuviae, are compressed by coverslips, this can make identification hellish but in most instances, yet possible, if the reader is experienced in recognizing morphological features. So too, dirty specimens often obscure important sensilla and can make their detection nearly impossible.</p> <p>Features of segment 4 are generally also present on segments 5–7, so that if segment 4 is obscured the specimens may yet be identified using these other segments as surrogates.</p> <p>Readers will see that some genera, such as Palpomyia, key out in more than one place in the key. Some genera could not be diagnosed as separate from all other genera and this may indicate the need for further research. Either some of these genera are paraphyletic, I may have missed some important features, been fooled by features that are markedly homoplastic (i.e. using highly variable features as part of the key), was misled by misassociations and/or misidentifications, or any combination of these potential problems.</p> <p>If there are differences between males and females noted in the key, males can be distinguished from females by the presence of two well-developed genital lobes, nearly always situated ventromedially (some Forcipomyia males have the lobes placed dorsally). The relative development of the male genital lobes reflects the general length of the developing gonocoxites and gonostyli.</p> <p>Readers should be particularly aware that this key is undoubtedly flawed and seriously incomplete, with only 45 of 111 genera known, and of those known, for many genera, only a small percentage have been reared (Table 3). Of these known genera, Amerohelea is too poorly understood to be included. A key to the subgenera of Forcipomyia is included below but only 14 of 35 subgenera are known as pupae. For further challenges, readers are urged to read "Warning to Readers" above. Properly prepared specimens are important and sometimes vital to identification (see Materials and Methods). Overall, pupal exuviae in good condition are easier to identify than whole pupae (which need to be carefully cleared to see sensilla).</p> <p>1.

Gutsevich &amp; Glukhova (1970) provided a key to three species known from the former USSR.</p> <p>Painter (1927) provided first somewhat detailed description of a Leptoconops (L. bequaerti (as Leptoconops sp.)) from Honduras and Ishigami (1959) provided similar details for L. nipponensis in Japan.</p> <p>Clastrier (1972) in a very detailed morphological study, described and illustrated the pupa of L. gallicus (as L. kerteszi), identifying all parts, describing each sensillum and describing the differences between males and females. His description differs in some details from the generic description here. He shows 1 short seta and 4 campaniform dorsolateral cephalic sclerite sensilla, 1 ocular (campaniform sensillum), 3 anteromedials (campaniform sensilla) and only 1 seta and 1 campaniform sensillum on segment 9. In addition, I record further additional sensilla here. Although some differences may be due to intraspecific variation, it should be noted that the differences are likely due to the difficulty in discerning very small setae or campaniform sensilla, particularly in areas of uneven cuticle. This was the case with Clastrier's (1972) study of L. gallicus, for which I was able to reexamine the species. An SEM study of a species of Leptoconops would be invaluable in better understanding this member of the earliest lineage of Ceratopogonidae, keeping in mind that many of the features of this genus are strongly autapomorphic.</p> <p>Clastrier &amp; Wirth (1978) provided further details of some Nearctic species, showing that at least some features vary within the genus.</p> <p>Leptoconops pupae have reduced numbers of sensilla on the thorax and 3–9 sensilla on abdominal segment 9 and naming these was somewhat arbitrary. However, at least L. linleyi had two campaniform sensilla on the terminal process that are likely homologous to the two found on most other Ceratopogonidae.</p> <p>I examined only one, poorly preserved male pupa specimen of Leptoconops (Styloconops) spinosifrons (with a pharate adult) and this species warrants particular attention, especially as one character state, the lack of recurved abdominal spines (see character 49) may indicate the subgenus is the sister group to other members of the genus. As illustrated by Laurence &amp; Mathias (1972), there may be only one dorsal mesothoracic seta but I could not confidently confirm this. If so, it would be uniquely derived within the Culicomorpha.</p> <p>Dzhafarov (1962, 1964) described a pupal exuviae as L. bezzii but it clearly is misidentified to genus. In overall habitus it is somewhat similar to Allohelea but details differ from the only known species in that genus. The numerous thoracic setae illustrated, if accurate, suggest it is not even in the Ceratopogonidae. Dzhafarov (1962) does not mention rearing methods nor provides any other indication that the pupal exuviae was definitely associated with either larvae or adults and Dzhafarov (1964) noted the presence of only one pupal exuviae collected from wet soil. The eggs, larvae, and adults described by Dzhafarov (1962) are certainly correctly identified as Leptoconops.</p> <p>MATERIAL EXAMINED: L. americanus: 1 pupa, 4.4 mi. N.

The larvae and pupae are found in many semi-terrestrial to moist terrestrial habitats, including under loose bark of logs, under decaying leaves and manure, decomposing vegetable matter and fungi, moss on soil, rotting wood or rocks, sap at tree wounds, in and above the water of various phytotelmata, mud along streams, bogs, and shallow water ponds.</p> <p>TAXONOMIC DISCUSSION: There are 146 species of Forcipomyia, in 14 subgenera, known as pupae (Tables 2–3). The pupae of this genus vary tremendously morphologically and are rich in numerous derived features, including overall body form, chaetotaxy, shape of respiratory organs and more. The group is ripe for a cladistic analysis and combined with their various behaviours and diverse niches, are certain to provide a rich opportunity to examine diversification within the genus. A few features were put into a phylogenetic context by Chan &amp; LeRoux (1971c).</p> <p>Although earlier work had shown that pupae of Forcipomyia have a variety of interesting modifications (e.g. Long 1902, Speiser 1910, Carter 1919, Rieth 1915), it was not until L.G. Saunders (1924, 1925, 1957, 1959, 1964), in a series of remarkable papers, studied the group that the wealth of features and their importance in their classification became apparent. He described exemplars from the 10 available subgenera (out of 14 for which immatures are known today), showing that the larvae, pupae and adults had congruent and distinctive features, indicating a solid basis for their classification (although derived features were not interpreted). He provided a consistent format for the description of the pupae and laid the groundwork for all future studies. Work by Chan &amp; Saunders (1965), Chan &amp; LeRoux (1965, 1970, 1971a, 1971b) and Chan &amp; Linley (1989) added significantly with further detailed descriptions of Forcipomyia pupae.</p> <p>The pupae are distinctive enough that a key to the subgenera is possible (see above).</p> <p>Further differences exist at the species level and early work indicated these also could be keyed (Malloch 1915 — Illinois; Lenz 1934 —Europe; Wirth &amp; Howarth 1982 —Hawaiian F. (Euprojoannisia); Lewańczyk et al. 2010 —European species of F. (Forcipomyia)).</p> <p>Wirth &amp; Howarth (1982), Chen et al. (1980), Spinelli et al. (2995) and Marino et al. (2010) provided SEM photomicrographs of pupae of Forcipomyia.</p> <p>I initially thought that the subgenera F. (Lepidohelea) and F. (Schizoforcipomyia) could be separated on the basis of the relative size of the medial tubercle on the dorsal apotome. Previous descriptions of species of F. (Lepidohelea) show these to be long. The only species of F. (Schizoforcipomyia) to be described for this feature is F. borbonica by Chan &amp; LeRoux (1971b, as F. petersoni), who illustrate the pupa as having a short, rounded tubercle on the middle of the dorsal apotome, although in the text they indicate this to be "elongate". I examined the two paratype pupal exuviae of F. petersoni and found both to have an elongate tubercle, indistinguishable from those of species of F. (Lepidohelea).</p> <p>Pupae of Forcipomyia have reduced numbers of thoracic sensilla, as well as fewer on the dorsum of the abdominal segments and the exact naming of these was uncertain. D-3-T and D-4-IV are likely correct as unique campaniform sensilla (in these areas).</p> <p>MATERIAL EXAMINED: F. aeria: 2 pupal exuviae (of paratype), Mayaquez, Puerto Rico, 18-III-1953 (USNM).

Immatures occur in aquatic to terrestrial habitats, generally in shaded areas on algae or mosses present on or at the edge of ponds, marshes and streams, or over wet soil, rock surfaces and wet wood. Larvae and pupae are also found under bark of logs, on rotting leaves, and other moist microhabitats in forests where fungi and microorganisms are available for food.</p> <p>TAXONOMIC DISCUSSION: The pupae of only 39 species of Atrichopogon have been described (Tables 2–3) and these different significantly in numbers of details. Indeed, the morphology of both larvae and pupae are so diverse that previous workers have suggested that the immatures would provide a better means of distinguishing the species (Nielsen 1951, Ewen &amp; Saunders 1958, Chan &amp; Linley 1988).</p> <p>Szadziewski et al. (1995) provided a key to European subgenera and Lenz (1934) gave a key to the few European species previously described as pupae. Ewen &amp; Saunders (1958) described 19 species from the New World but did not include a key (in spite of obvious differences between taxa). Nielsen (1951) described six species from Denmark in well-illustrated and detailed study, including their behaviour and biology. His phylogenetic interpretation of the genus included pupal structures. Thomsen (1937) gave a brief key to the three Nearctic species she studied.</p> <p>The description of A. websteri by Thomsen (1937) suggests it was misidentified. As illustrated, the elongate respiratory organ, the lack of lateral abdominal tubercles and the terminal processes closely approximated medially and with posteriorly directed spicules suggest it is actually a Forcipomyia.</p> <p>Pupae of Atrichopogon have a reduced number of thoracic sensilla, making the exact naming of these unsure. D-3-T, as a unique campaniform sensillum, is likely homologous to that in other Ceratopogonidae. The abdominal chaetotaxy is also strongly reduced and the remaining sensilla vary in position, making identification of specific sensilla (as in Fig. 56B) often uncertain. Some species have one or two more sensilla on abdominal segment four (e.g. A. maculosus has two lateral setae) and the presence of heavy shagreen in many species makes it particularly difficult to discern sensilla when these are small. In A. jacobsoni, sensillum D-4-IV identified here appears to be homologous to an elongate seta. Furthermore, homologies are further confused by the failure of some descriptions to distinguish tubercles with or without sensilla (e.g. Ewen &amp; Saunders 1958).</p> <p>MATERIAL EXAMINED: A. bifidus: 1 pupa (of paratype), Nictheroy, Brazil, 31-VII-1923 (CNCI).

Immatures are known from a wide array of small aquatic habitats, primarily from algal growth on damp soil or other wet substrates, wet moss, algae or moss at the margins of standing or running water and amongst floating vegetation (including algal mats). As one would expect with a species rich genus, immatures occur in a wide array of other microhabitats but all of these are small aquatic (or soaking wet) habitats such as from Pistia, wet decomposing vegetation, ant refuse piles (of Atta), mining floating leaves of Salvinia, sap from tree wounds, wet woodland leaf packs, small ground or rock pools, phytotelmata, margins of extreme saline pools, hot springs, intertidal zone, marine splash-zone, salt marshes, small artificial habitats such as rain gutters, and attacking tobacco seedlings grown hydroponically. Larvae appear to require water on their bodies to survive, while pupae either remain immersed in media or crawl upward to drier substrate.</p> <p>Münchberg (1961) studied the function of the respiratory organs of D. flavifrons (as D. versicolor) under experimental conditions, removing either one or both of the respiratory organs or applying sealant to the pores. His questionable approach resulted in death for those with both respiratory organs removed and very little survivorship in those with one removed. He suggested that some respiration may occur through the terminal processes but this is clearly not possible (there is no opening posteriorly). Some young pupae could remain submerged for substantial periods of time indicating they likely extract oxygen from the surrounding water.</p> <p>TAXONOMIC DISCUSSION: There are 90 species of Dasyhelea known as pupae (Tables 2–3) and there is a high level of morphological differentiation between many of them. Clearly, there are numerous synapomorphies waiting to be interpreted. Furthermore, this genus is extremely species rich, with many undescribed species, and pupal morphology will certainly assist in interpreting these.</p> <p>Even though there are a goodly number of named species with described pupae, it is clear that the identity of some of them is uncertain. For example, Thienemann (1925) recognized the pupae of D. flavifrons and five other species (D. brevitibialis, D. lignicola, D. obscura, D. sensualis, D. versicolor) now all considered to be one species (the latter as synonyms of D. flavifrons). Similarly, Lenz (1934) noted differences between the pupae of D. flavifrons and some of these same taxa. Some of the differences noted are likely valid indicators of species differences, although it is now uncertain what adults were actually reared and associated. Mayer (1934a) also describes differences between species now considered synonyms (e.g. D. modesta with its synonyms D. inclusa and D. longipalpis).</p> <p>Mayer (1934a) and Lenz (1934) provided a key to the 19 European species known at that time and Thienemann (1925) has a key to some species from northern Germany. The pupae of 11 Nearctic species were described and illustrated by Waugh &amp; Wirth (1976), showing significant differences between them but they did not provide a key. The campaniform sensilla DA-2-H is present in these species but were not illustrated. Mayer (1934c) described and keyed 13 species from Indonesia indicating and illustrating detailed differences between their dorsal apotomes, respiratory organs, and the shape and chaetotaxy of segment 9. Mayer (1934c) showed the dorsal apotome of D. insons with DA-2-H as a seta (so there are two setae on a single tubercle), which would be unique within the genus. All other species I studied had one seta and one campaniform sensillum. Wirth &amp; Beaver (1979) described and keyed the unusual pupae of five species of Dasyhelea found in Nepenthes (monkey cup) in southeast Asia.</p> <p>Fossil pupae of six species were described (or redescribed) by Pierce (1966). Although the specimens were not reexamined here, based on the form of the terminal processes (divided), they are clearly correctly assigned to genus. Grimaldi &amp; Engel (2005:45) include a photograph of two silicified pupae identified as 'ceratopogonid midges' and which are likely members of Dasyhelea, based on their size and the presence of distinctive shelf-like tubercles nearly encircling the abdominal segments.</p> <p>Scanning electron photomicrographs of pupae were published by Ronderos et al. (2004), Dominiak (2012) and Díaz et al. (2013). Park &amp; Downing (2001) published an scanning electron photomicrograph of the terminal abdominal segments of the fossil Miocene species D. australis, showing how a similar approach could be used to better understand other fossil Dasyhelea species.</p> <p>Pupae of Dasyhelea have a reduced number of thoracic sensilla and the naming of the two setae as D-1-T and D-2-T is arbitrary as they may not be homologous to those specific setae in other ceratopogonids.</p> <p>Most species of Dasyhelea have abdominal segments with a typical and characteristic transverse arrangement of lower, broad tubercles (Fig. 56C). A few species found in Nepenthes in southeast Asia, however, have sensilla on somewhat to markedly elongate tubercles (Wirth &amp; Beaver 1979). An undescribed species from Australia (Running Creek) also had abdominal sensilla D-4 IV, D-8 IV, L-2 IV, L-3 IV, L-4 IV, V-7 IV on markedly elongate tubercles. D-4-IV in these taxa was represented by a seta (rather than a campaniform sensillum present in other Dasyhelea).</p> <p>MATERIAL EXAMINED: D. ampullariae: 2 pupal exuviae, Singapore, 22-VIII-1952 (USNM).

Immatures are present in a wide array of habitats but generally are associated with small and limited aquatic or very wet microhabitats. They are diverse and common in mud or decaying substrate on the margins of pools, swamps, ponds, streams and rivers, but are also found in such diverse habitats as damp or wet decomposing vegetation, wet leaf packs, manure, fungi, sap from wounds on trees, phytotelmata, seed husks, dead cacti, crab holes, springs, seeps, bogs, saline pools, fens, mangrove swamps, salt marshes, and river bottom (one species).</p> <p>TAXONOMIC DISCUSSION: There are 226 species of Culicoides known as pupae (Tables 2–3). Some of these, however, are poorly described, or are questionably associated (in part, because some adults are difficult to identify accurately). Furthermore, some authors have described differences between species which are now considered synonyms, likely indicating problems either with identification of the adults or the real possibility that more than one species is present under that name (Thienemann 1928, Mayer 1934a, Lenz 1934, Dzhafarov 1964).</p> <p>Many using this work will primarily want to identify pupae of Culicoides to genus. Aside from the features in the key and the diagnosis above, members of this genus have a nearly unique arrangement of the dorsolateral cephalic sclerite setae, with one long and the other quite small (in most species and difficult to see) to equally long. Pupae of Paradasyhelea also have this arrangement but they are relatively rare taxa restricted to Southern Hemisphere localities as well as the Olympic Peninsula in Washington, USA. In areas of sympatry, the arrangement of the spicules on the dorsal apotome will serve to distinguish the two genera. Nearly all other Ceratopogoninae have only one dorsolateral cephalic sclerite seta. Of the exceptions, Baeodasymyia, rare and restricted to the Neotropical Region, has two setae but also has a respiratory organ with a distinctive separate, short, expanded apical portion bearing pores in a single plane (Fig. 44C), some Parabezzia (e.g. P. petiolata) have both setae very short and peg-like, and one specimen of Serromyia has both setae very short and slender.</p> <p>Members of Culicoides may also be recognized by a combination of the halter and hind leg slightly separated or barely touching (Figs. 3B, 32G) and D-7-I placed anteriorly on tergite 1, near D-2-I and D-3-I.</p> <p>There are various keys to species of pupae of Culicoides which include species from a given area or of a select species group, as follows (arranged geographically, New World to Old World, north to south):</p> <p>- Jones (1955) — Wisconsin, USA.</p> <p>- Jamnback (1965) — New York, USA; described the differences between subgenera and some species groups.</p> <p>- Blanton &amp; Wirth (1979) —Florida, USA; described the differences between subgenera and some species groups.</p> <p>- Jones (1961) —to 13 Nearctic species.</p> <p>- Atchley (1970) —Nearctic species of C. (Selfia).</p> <p>- Jamnback &amp; Wirth (1963) —eastern Nearctic species of obsoletus species group.</p> <p>- Kann (1980) —Nearctic species of guttipennis species group, noting differences of the species group with other groups of Culicoides.</p> <p>- Lamberson et al. (1992) —tree-hole species from eastern North America.</p> <p>- Thienemann (1928) —northern Europe.</p> <p>- Lenz (1934) —Europe.</p> <p>- Mayer (1934a) —Europe.</p> <p>- Kettle &amp; Lawson (1952) —British.</p> <p>- Gutsevich &amp; Glukhova (1970) —former USSR</p> <p>- Glukhova (1989) — Russia.</p> <p>- Dzhafarov (1964) —Transcaucasus.</p> <p>- Brodskaya (1999) —eastern Russia and northeastern China</p> <p>- Howarth (1985) — Laos.</p> <p>- Kettle &amp; Elson (1976, 1980), Elson-Harris &amp; Murray (1992) — Australia.</p> <p>- Nevill (1969) —seven South African species.</p> <p>- Nevill and Dyce (1994) — similis species group (Africa).</p> <p>- Nevill et al. (2007) — imicola species group (Africa).</p> <p>All the authors above have shown that there are significant differences between species of Culicoides, allowing for their identification at that level. These studies speak to the diverse morphology within this huge genus and provide good evidence that the pupal stage could be an important basis for further understanding the habitats utilized by the immatures. Larvae are far more conservative in their structural divergence and are challenging to identify (e.g. Murphree &amp; Mullen 1991).</p> <p>Dyce (1998) included pupal diagnoses for the subgenera and species groups of Australian Culicoides providing tentative characterizations (results were from a workshop).</p> <p>Nevill et al. (2007) described the variation of some pupal features in the imicola species group and showed how pupae may provide morphological evidence of differences that is more obscure in adults of some species of Culicoides. Geographic variation of pupal features was described by Atchley (1971a) for three Nearctic species and sexual differences were noted in the shape of the dorsal apotome by Atchley (1971b). Spătaru (1971) described intraspecific variation of various pupal features of C. stigma.</p> <p>Of the numerous features that vary between species and which were noted or utilized by previous authors, it is worth noting that the relative arrangement of sensilla D-4-I, D-8-I and D-9-I varies considerably within Culicoides, with many species having D-8-I and D-9-I lateral to D-4-I.</p> <p>The diagnosis for pupae of Culicoides as given above is generally more simple than may be initially apparent. The combination of a well-developed prothoracic extension and the halter and hind leg slightly separated or barely touching distinguishes all Culicoides except for the Holarctic and rarely collected Ceratopogon, which have a unique dome-like protuberance on their dorsal apotome, and Paradasyhelea, restricted to the Southern Hemisphere (New Zealand, Australia, New Caledonia, Argentina, Chile) and the Olympic Peninsula of Washington, USA (the latter rare) and which have a lateral row of stout, pointed spicules and further stout spicules more medially on the dorsal apotome.</p> <p>The identification of the larva and pupa of C. punctatus and C. nipponensis respectively in Table 2 from Kitaoka (1998) was provided by Shigeo Kitaoka (pers. comm.).</p> <p>MATERIAL EXAMINED: C. annettae: 1 pupal exuviae, 2 km NE Tarcoles, Costa Rica, 17-XII-1993 (CNCI).

The figure of the fourth abdominal segment of C. boomerangus shown in Fig. 57C (from Borkent &amp; Grogan 1995) is distorted by compression and the distribution of the sensilla are broader than is natural (i.e. the dorsal and ventral sensilla are actually more lateral, L-1-IV, L-2-IV and L-3-IV are shown as ventral). This is true for all the species illustrated by Borkent &amp; Grogan (1995:183). The fourth abdominal segment of C. nr. inverecundus in Fig. 58A was drawn from an uncompressed specimen in glycerin.</p> <p>Mayer (1934a:238) described a pupa referred to as "Genus incertum" from Germany which was reexamined for this study.

Immatures are generally in such small to moderately sized lentic habitats as pools, marshes, bogs and fens as well as the mud, sand or detritus at the margins of streams and creeks. At least within the Nearctic, species are diverse and often common in bogs and fens. At least two species were common as adults in the intertidial zone in western Costa Rica (pers. obs.).</p> <p>TAXONOMIC DISCUSSION: There are only seven species of Brachypogon known as pupae (Tables 2–3).</p> <p>Some previous descriptions have included illustrations of the respiratory organ with pores only at the apex (Mayer 1940, Kettle &amp; Lawson 1952, Glukhova 1979 b, Harris 1981, Elson-Harris 1990, Szadziewski et al. 1994, 1997). All specimens examined here had an additional pore near the base and in some instances this was difficult to see. If present in all Brachypogon, the arrangement of pores and the squat, rectangular to somewhat funnel-shape of the respiratory organ would be unique in the Ceratopogonidae.</p> <p>Debenham (1991) illustrates three species of Brachypogon from Australia and Mayer (1940) described one species from Sweden with only two posterior lateral sensilla on segment 4 (likely L-3-IV, L-4-IV) but these should be reexamined for the smaller L-2-IV possibly present.</p> <p>Thienemann (1936:176) described a pupa as "genus incertum" that is almost certainly a species of Brachypogon. It has the characteristic respiratory organ shape and arrangement of pores (one basal) and the distribution of abdominal sensilla matches fairly well (there is an extra anterior lateral sensillum that would be unique to the genus but was likely an error).</p> <p>MATERIAL EXAMINED: B. nitidulus: 1 pupal exuviae, Zaklin'e, Leningrad Province, Russia, 24-VI-1972 (ZIN).

Immatures have been sampled from ponds, bogs, fens, swamps, treeholes and margins of streams, creeks, rivers and lakes. Some species have been reared from wet leaves and mud associated with the aforementioned habitats.</p> <p>TAXONOMIC DISCUSSION: There are 23 species of Alluaudomyia known as pupae (Tables 2–3). Considering the good visibility of the larvae, which swim on the surface film, there are good prospects of rearing many additional species of this genus.</p> <p>The dorsal apotomes of A. bella, A. caribbeana, A. distispinulosa, A. footei, A. megaparamera, A. paraspina, A. parv a, A. reyei and A. unguistyla have been illustrated without campaniform sensillum DA-2-H (Elson-Harris &amp; Kettle 1985b, Grogan &amp; Bystrak 1976, Spinelli 1997, Spinelli &amp; Wirth 1984, Wirth &amp; Grogan 1981), but examination of original material of A. bella, A. distispinulosa, A. footei, A. megaparamera, A. paraspina and A. parv a indicates that it is actually present in at least these species. The campaniform sensillum has likely been overlooked in the other species considering that all species of Alluaudomyia I examined had the sensillum present among the similarly sized spicules and that the sensillum is present in most other Ceratopogonidae.</p> <p>De Meillon (1939) illustrated abdominal segment 5 of A. maculithorax but misidentified the dorsal and ventral surfaces.</p> <p>The distinctive placement of fourth abdominal segment sensilla D-7-IV lateral to D-8-IV has not been reported or illustrated by those previous authors describing the sensilla of the abdominal segments, likely because this sensillum coeloconica is small, difficult to discern and was overlooked (de Meillon 1939, Debenham 1971, Elson-Harris &amp; Kettle 1985b); this is certainly the case for the three species described by Debenham (1971) and which were reexamined here.</p> <p>MATERIAL EXAMINED: A. appendiculata: 2 pupal exuviae (of paratype), Hornsby, New South Wales, Australia, 9-X-1956 (ANIC); 1 pupal exuviae, as previous locality, 18-XI-1969 (ANIC); 2 pupal exuviae, Nattai River, Mittagong, New South Wales, Australia, 25-X-1968 (ANIC).

Immatures are in a wide variety of aquatic and sem-aquatic habitats including springs, swamps, bogs, fens, rice fields, rock pools, treeholes, soil in a tidal marsh, and the margins of ponds, lakes, streams and rivers.</p> <p>TAXONOMIC DISCUSSION: There are only 29 species of Stilobezzia known as pupae (Tables 2–3). As indicated below, obtaining the pupae of additional species will likely lead to a better understanding of the cladistic relationships within this group.</p> <p>The earliest description of a Stilobezzia pupa may be that by Packard (1871) who described it as a Tanypus (Chironomidae). Although clearly a ceratopogonid, the taxon cannot be identified with certainty although the overall habitus (especially the lateral direction of the terminal processes) suggests it is a species of Stilobezzia. However, it would be informative if this species (noted as common at that time) was resampled at Clear Lake, California to confirm the identification.</p> <p>The pupae of Stilobezzia species are strikingly diverse, showing considerable variation, for example in the number and distribution of sensilla of abdominal segment 4 (Figs. 59C, 60A). The shape of the respiratory organs (Figs. 44E–K) and terminal processes (Figs. 74C–E) also vary broadly. The remarkably modified respiratory organs of S. rabelloi (Fig. 44I) and S. poikiloptera are used to pierce the submerged roots of aquatic plants to obtain oxygen for the pupa (Borkent &amp; Craig 2001).</p> <p>Ronderos et al. (2012) described a peculiar species of Stilobezzia as S. enigma and discussed it's phylogenetic placement, concluding that it likely belongs within the subgenus S. (Stilobezzia), based on the lack of any indication of tubercles on the dorsum of the thorax (otherwise bearing the dorsal sensilla). Within the analysis here, the pupa has synapmorphies 27, 29 and 39 and confirms its placement within the genus. The presence of four lateral sensilla on tergite 1, all of which are setae, is a feature unique with the Ceratopogonidae. The presence of D–7-I near D-2-I and D-3-I is unique within the genus (see character 53).</p> <p>Cazorla et al. (2006) drew the sensilla of abdominal segment 4 of S. fiebrigi with more sensilla than are known in any other Ceratopogonidae and this species should be reexamined to confirm their presence and distribution.</p> <p>Harris (1981) described seven species of Stilobezzia from Australia, six of which were considered new and provided a key to these. However, her species 6 is here recognized as a member of Schizonyxhelea, with its characteristic features (see below under that genus).</p> <p>Based on the conclusion that Schizonyxhelea is clearly monophyletic and most closely related to Baeodasymyia, some species previously recognized as members of Stilobezzia are now placed in Schizonyxhelea as new combinations (see below under that genus).</p> <p>The phylogenetic relationships between species of Stilobezzia are uncertain and the genus warrants a detailed cladistic analysis to test the reality of the current division into four subgenera. Clastrier (1976) recognized that the current subgenera (at that time with three subgenera) were artificial and correctly suggested further character states (primarily of the antennae, wings and thoracic chaetotaxy) to interpret the group. Unfortunately, he did not interpret the newly reported features cladistically and the result was a difficult to interpret new arrangement of the species. Wirth &amp; Grogan (1988) did not use the system suggested by Clastrier (1976) and named an additional subgenus for two distinctive Australian species. Some pupal features are likely important in future phylogenetic analyses of this interesting genus. For example, the dorsal setae arising from the mesonotum of Ceratopogonidae pupae nearly always arise from at least low tubercles. Within Stilobezzia, three species of the subgenus S. (Acanthohelea) (S. gracilis, S. lutea, and S. orientis) have the setae arising from very low tubercles. Those of the subgenus S. (Stilobezzia), however, have the setae arising directly from the cuticle and this unique feature indicates their monophyly (S. antennalis, S. coquillettii, S. diversa, S. flavirostris, S. glauca, S. limnophila, S. navaiae, S. pallidiventris, S. papillata, S. pictipes, S. rabelloi, and S. sybleae). Two species of S. (Acanthohelea), S. papillata (examined here) and S. ochracea (as described by Kettle &amp; Lawson 1952) also have slender setae arising directly from the cuticle, indicating that at least these two species of S. (Acanthohelea) are more closely related to species of the subgenus S. (Stilobezzia) than they are to other S. (Acanthohelea). It is worth noting that S. papillata and S. ochracea have unique elongate spicules on the apices of their respiratory organs, certainly indicating that these two are sister species.</p> <p>Three of the species of S. (Acanthohelea), namely S. gracilis, S. lutea, and S. orientis, have most of the setae on abdominal segments 3–7 arising from distinctive bifid tubercles in which each half of the tubercle is very slender and about as long as the seta borne by it. This feature is nearly unique in the Ceratopogonidae, otherwise similar to that in some species of Ceratopogon (where it is clearly independently derived). The feature is, therefore, derived. The two species of S. (Acanthohelea), S. papillata and S. ochracea, which, as indicated above, are likely related to species of the subgenus S. (Stilobezzia) lack this feature. Furthermore, the strongly modified pupa of S. (S.) rabelloi (Borkent &amp; Craig 2001) does have bifid tubercles although they are much larger than those of S. gracilis, S. lutea, and S. orientis. This suggests that S. rabelloi is actually a member of S. (Acanthohelea). Although this species lacks the defining presence of macrotrichia on the apex of the adult wing, it does bear strong setae on veins R and R 3, which are otherwise lacking in the subgenus S. (Stilobezzia) but are present in S. (Acanthohelea).</p> <p>MATERIAL EXAMINED: S. antennalis: 7 pupal exuviae, Salmon Arm, British Columbia, Canada, 7-VI- 1988 (CNCI); 1 pupal exuviae, 3 km E of Salmon Arm, British Columbia, Canada, 9-VI-1988 (CNCI); 1 pupal exuviae, 30 km N of Nakusp, British Columbia, Canada, 5-VII-1990 (CNCI); 1 pupal exuviae, Plummer’s Island, Montgomery County, Maryland, USA, 4-VI-1976 (WLGC); 2 pupal exuviae, Patuxent Wildlife Refuge, Prince George’s County, Maryland, USA, 5-VII-1977 (USNM); 1 pupal exuviae, as previous locality, 24-V-1977 (USNM); 1 pupal exuviae, Highlands Lake Ravenel, Macon County, North Carolina, USA, 10-VI-1986 (USNM); 2 pupal exuviae, Grandview Natural Preserve, Hampton, Virginia, USA, 30-VII-1976, 25-VIII-1976 (VPIC); 1 pupal exuviae (in glycerin), Grandview Natural Preserve, Hampton, Virginia, USA, 30-VII-1976 (VPIC); 2 pupal exuviae, Dyke Marsh, Alexandria, Virginia, USA, 3-VI-1975 (WLGC); 1 pupal exuviae, no locality, 6-VIII-1953 (USNM).

Schizonyxhelea bulla has been reared from mud from the margins of a bog, from the grassy margin of a marsh and from mud, pond weeds and Sphagnum (Thomsen 1937, Wirth &amp; Grogan 1981). Borkent (2000a) found a larva of S. forattinii in wet mud in a small seep which flowed into the outflow of a larger spring in Costa Rica.</p> <p>TAXONOMIC DISCUSSION: This genus previously included only two Neotropical species (Borkent 2014) (Tables 2–3). In his description of the larva and pupa of S. forattinii, Borkent (2000a) pointed out the striking similarities especially between the pupae of Schizonyxhelea forattinii Wirth &amp; Grogan and Stilobezzia bulla Thomsen. A number of these are here interpreted as synapomorphies of the genus (characters 24, 54, 76, 79).</p> <p>Nearly all male Schizonyxhelea have a unique and distinctive transverse band of cuticle ventral to the parameres (at about midlength), that is clearly a synapomorphy of the genus. It is uncertain what this structure is, considering that it is likely that a very reduced set of more ventrally located small sclerites is homologous to the aedeagus of other Ceratopogonidae. The male of S. forattinii lacks the ventral transverse band of cuticle but does have a pair of broad extensions from the midlength of the gonocoxites which extend dorsally to the parameres and overlap medially. A further synapomorphy of all species examined here is the reduced set of small sclerites making up the aedeagus. Some other adult features may be synapomorphies (Borkent 2000a) but further study is needed.</p> <p>Historically, the shape of the claws of female adults has been used as a primary character to identify and recognize genera. The females of the two species originally placed in Schizonyxhelea (S. forattinii, S. guyana) had equal claws on each leg, a single, bent spermatheca and reduced wing venation. The additional species recognized here have single claws on each leg (with a basal tooth) and are similar to those of Stilobezzia, with two welldeveloped spermathecae and wings with two radial cells. I have examined a female from Costa Rica which has a wing venation identical to those of S. forattinii and S. guyana but has single claws and two spermathecae. I have examined other, non-related, Stilobezzia with equal claws and the same variation occurs, for example, in Serromyia (Borkent &amp; Bissett 1990) and Alluaudomyia (pers. obs. unnamed species). Clearly, single or equal claws are variable within these genera and should be used with caution in distinguishing other genera.</p> <p>On the basis of the distinctive male genitalia and pupal synapomorphies, this genus now includes:</p> <p>Schizonyxhelea brevicostalis (Das Gupta &amp; Wirth), 1968: 28 (Stilobezzia). Malaysia, new combination. Schizonyxhelea bulla (Thomsen), 1935: 289 (Stilobezzia). USA, new combination.</p> <p>Schizonyxhelea caribe (Lane &amp; Forattini), 1958: 208 (Stilobezzia). Panama, new combination.</p> <p>Schizonyxhelea diminuta (Lane &amp; Forattini), 1958: 209 (Stilobezzia). Panama, new combination.</p> <p>Schizonyxhelea forattinii Wirth &amp; Grogan, 1988: 81. Brazil.</p> <p>Schizonyxhelea guyana Clastrier, 1984: 2. French Guiana.</p> <p>Schizonyxhelea obscura (Lane &amp; Forattini), 1958: 216 (Stilobezzia). Panama, new combination.</p> <p>Schizonyxhelea panamensis (Lane &amp; Forattini), 1958: 218 (Stilobezzia). Panama, new combination. Schizonyxhelea thomsenae (Wirth), 1953: 83 (Stilobezzia). USA, new combination.</p> <p>Schizonyxhelea scutata (Lane &amp; Forattini), 1961: 92 (Stilobezzia). Panama, new combination.</p> <p>Harris (1981) described seven species of Stilobezzia from Australia. Her species 6 is a Schizonyxhelea, with its characteristic features (i.e. thoracic sensilla D-1-T short and stout, distribution of abdominal 4 sensilla with each on a serrate tubercle, posteromedial margin of terminal process with row of spines). I have also examined a reared series of an unnamed species from Laos and there are a number of unnamed species (based on adults) from Costa Rica. Clearly the genus is more diverse and broadly distributed than was previously recognized.</p> <p>Wirth &amp; Grogan (1981) described the pupa of S. bulla (as a Stilobezzia) but did not describe or illustrate the posterior row of spines which are actually present on the terminal process. Borkent (2000a) missed CL-1-H and CL-2-H on the mouthparts of the pupa as well as D-9-IV on abdominal segment 4 (the single specimen was dirty). Stilobezzia insolita Das Gupta &amp; Wirth from Malaysia is known only as a female but it has a reduced wing venation and an apically swollen and basally curved spermatheca, all similar to some Schizonyxhelea (e.g. S. forattinii). However, until further study, this species remains in Stilobezzia.</p> <p>MATERIAL EXAMINED: S. bulla: 1 pupal exuviae, Algonquin Park, Ontario, Canada, 8-VI-1960 (USNM); 1 pupal exuviae, Patuxent Rescue Center, Prince George’s County, Maryland, USA, 17-V-1976 (USNM); 2 pupal exuviae, as previous locality, 4-VI-1976 (USNM); 1 pupal exuviae, as previous locality (WLGC); 1 pupal exuviae, Allegany State Park, New York, USA, 28-V-1963 (WLGC); 2 pupal exuviae, McLean Reserve, Tompkins County, New York, USA, 18-VI-1963 (WLGC); 1 pupal exuviae, Bergen Swamp, Genesee County, New York, USA, 14- VI-1963 (WLGC); 2 pupal exuviae, Research Station Pond, Newcomb, New York, USA, 30-VI-1958 (NYSM); 1 pupal exuviae, Meadow Hole, E.

Species have been collected from bogs, fens, wet meadows, streams or small rivers. At least within the Holarctic Region, species are restricted to wooded areas. Strenzke (1950) and Thienemann (1950) found immatures in mosses at lake margins in Germany and Kettle &amp; Lawson (1952) found larvae in mud associated with marshlands.</p> <p>TAXONOMIC DISCUSSION: There are only two species of Serromyia known as pupae (with one of these actually of uncertain identity) (Tables 2–3).</p> <p>Of the five specimens of Serromyia available for study, one was of S. atra and previously studied by Borkent &amp; Bissett (1990). It included a pharate adult, ensuring correct identification of this specimen. Of the remaining specimens, three were of pupal exuviae and one of a whole pupae, all previously slide mounted, with old, similar labels (perforated edges), with the same handwriting (likely that of Thienemann), and at least one collected by Strenzke (1950, site 220, Grosser Ukleisee, Germany), with the notation "gez." (short for gezüchtet, meaning reared). Strenzke (1950:349) noted that larvae were "not rare in damp mosses [in German]". All were previously identified as S. femorata (probably by Strenzke), even though no associated adult material was present. The pupa was young, so there were no pharate adult features to be studied. As such, there is a level of uncertainty as to both the species identification (Borkent &amp; Bissett 1990) as well as the generic identity. However, it appeared that all four were conspecific and Strenzke likely correctly identified the emerged adults as Serromyia, considering their distinctively fat and spinose hind femora. The pupae also matched the description of S. femorata by Kettle &amp; Lawson (1952) and were very similar to that of S. atra, further suggesting that the generic identification of these specimens is correct.</p> <p>Borkent and Bissett (1990) missed the sensillum coeloconica D-7-IV on abdominal segment 4 of the Serromyia pupa they illustrated.</p> <p>MATERIAL EXAMINED: S. atra: 1 pupa, Schöhsees, Germany (ZSMC). S. femorata: 1 pupa, 2 pupal exuviae, no locality, date (likely Thienemann collection, ZSMC); 1 pupal exuviae, Grosser Ukleisee, Germany (likely Thienemann collection, ZSMC).</p> </div>	http://treatment.plazi.org/id/027587C9BD6C3035FD511A824F24E064	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

Immatures have been reared from Sphagnum moss from lake margins and a swamp, or Sphagnum bogs.</p> <p>TAXONOMIC DISCUSSION: There are only two species of Monohelea known as pupae (Tables 2–3). The species differ significantly in that M. hirsuta has well-developed tubercles on the abdomen (Fig. 61C), very similar to that of Allohelea japonica, while in M. obscura these are very short. The pupal exuviae of M. obscura was on a separate slide without an associated adult. It had been collected by H.A. Jamnback and was slide mounted by W.W. Wirth. Although likely correctly associated (Jamnback certainly had ample experience with rearing Ceratopogonidae), there remains a question of its identity.</p> <p>The fourth abdominal segment of M. hirsuta (Fig. 61C) is illustrated without sensillum D-4-IV but this sensillum coeloconica (in other ceratopogonids) is likely present but hidden among the strong shagreen present over much of the abdomen of this species.</p> <p>Harris (1981) also described the pupae of three species she identified as Monohelea (as sp. n. 1, sp. n. 2, sp. n. 3). Since then Wirth &amp; Grogan (1988) recognized the status of six genera formerly placed in Monohelea, including four genera known from Australia: Monohelea, Allohelea, Austrohelea, and Downeshelea. The reared adults were never described but Harris (1981: 114) noted that " M. sp. n. 2 (a 'picture wing' species) is definitely different from M. sp. n. 1 and M. sp. n. 2 [sic] (plain wing species) at the pupal stage". Because of this obvious error, it is uncertain which species of these three are actually "picture wing" (i.e. possibly Monohelea, Downeshelea, or Allohelea) and which are most likely Austrohelea (plain wing) as far as adult features are concerned (one possible exception is Monohelea tigrina (Skuse), an Australian species with plain wings). However, named species of Austrohelea are known only from Western Australia and Tasmania, while the material of Harris (1981) came from Queensland. Additionally, her pupal key on pg. 92 identifies the three species but within that key Monohelea sp. n. 2 actually refers to M. sp. n. 1 in the text and figures and her keyed Monohelea sp. n. 1 actually refers to the texts and figures of M. sp. n. 2. In the current study, material from elsewhere was available for all these genera other than Downeshelea. Based on pupal features described by Harris (1981), all three would be members of Monohelea based on the presence of L-1-IV directly dorsal to L-3-IV, a feature unique to this genus within this group of genera (but based on only two species) in its exact relative placement of these two sensilla (see character 65). In addition all three have a peg-like D-5-T on the mesothorax, a feature here recognized here as a synapomorphy of Atyphohelea but not scorable with the material I examined of the closely related Monohelea because the presence of D-5-T was uncertain in the two species (and two specimens) available because of the small size of the sensilla amongst heavy shagreen, as well as poor perspective. However, Monohelea and related genera in the present scheme do not have a full complement of posterior dorsal sensilla illustrated as present in M. sp. n. 1 (D-4-IV, D-5- IV, D-7-IV, D-8-IV, D-9-IV) and the two species I examined have most sensilla on segment 4 as short pegs (in M. sp. n. 1 only V-5-IV was apparently peg-like), making the generic identification of M. sp. n. 1 uncertain. Both M. sp. n. 2 and M. sp. n. 3 would fit the diagnosis of Monohelea as presented here. However, all three species had at least one extra, separate subapical pore on the respiratory organ that is not present in the two species I examined. Further to this, if two of these three species did have clear wings (but were correctly identified at the time in the broadly encompassing concept of Monohelea), they could only belong to Austrohelea, a genus here considered more distantly related to Monohelea and without L-1-IV directly dorsal to L-3-IV for the one species I examined. Unfortunately, the location of the material described by Harris (1981) is uncertain and could not be reexamined (Marlene Elson-Harris, pers. comm. 1993).</p> <p>The respiratory organ of M. hirsuta was drawn by Wirth &amp; Grogan (1981) with an apparent longitudinal ridge or thickening but examination of the original material indicated that this was actually a flattened, possibly partially collapsed portion of the respiratory organ.</p> <p>The pupae of Monohelea hirsuta, Allohelea, some Parabezzia and Atyphohelea are similar to one another, with pronounced tubercles on the thorax and abdomen. However, Monohelea have L-3-IV ventral to L-1-IV, while in Allohelea and Atyphohelea L-1-IV is further anterior than any of the other lateral sensilla. Parabezzia are missing L-1-IV.</p> <p>MATERIAL EXAMINED: M. hirsuta: 1 pupal exuviae (of holotype), Patuxent Wildlife Refuge, Prince George County, Maryland, USA, 2-VIII-1977 (USNM).

The fourth abdominal segment of A. macroneura is illustrated without sensilla D-4-IV and D-7-IV but these campaniform sensilla (their form in other Ceratopogonidae) are likely present but hidden among the strong shagreen present over much of the abdomen of this species (in addition the limited material was rather dirty, further obscuring observation of campaniform sensilla).</p> <p>In nearly all Ceratopogonidae, the anteroventral margin of the wing forms a near right angle, with the margin completely or nearly perpendicular to the dorsal margin of the antenna. I found only two exceptions in the family. In the somewhat crushed specimens of A. macroneura studied here, the angle appeared less abrupt and more rounded (the wing side of the angle was greater). However, I could not convince myself that it was not a product of distortion. Fresh material would be able to test this idea. If present, the feature would be nearly unique in the family. It was also present in an exuviae of one unnamed species of Jenkinshelea (from Kruger N.P) which also had a greater angle, clearly an instance of homoplasy. Other Jenkinshelea had a nearly right angle anteroventral margin.</p> <p>MATERIAL EXAMINED: A. macroneura: 3 pupal exuviae, Highlands Lake Ravenel, Macon County, North Carolina, USA, 10-VI-1986 (CNCI).</p> </div>	http://treatment.plazi.org/id/027587C9BD683031FD6F18C24F43E60E	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

Pupae have been collected on the edges of streams, rivers and ponds. Grogan &amp; Wirth (1977a) reported that P. alexanderi pupae were the most common of all ceratopogonids at a lily pond in Maryland, USA.</p> <p>TAXONOMIC DISCUSSION: There are seven species of Parabezzia known as pupae (Tables 2–3). There are two quite different types of pupae in this genus. One has numbers of rounded tubercles (Figs. 33A, 62B), the other, called the alexanderi group, has sharp tubercles (Fig. 62C) and abdominal sternites with membranous discs (e.g. P. alexanderi, P. balseiroi).</p> <p>All species of Parabezzia have reduced numbers of sensilla on every part of the body (see diagnosis). Some species have no clypeal-labral setae (P. bystraki, P. stagni) while others have a single peg (P. huberti, P. alexanderi, P. downesi, P. petiolata, P. balseiroi), a condition unique in the family.</p> <p>Grogan &amp; Wirth (1977a) provided a key to the pupae of the four Nearctic species known at that time and Wirth &amp; Grogan (1981) included a key to three species at Plummer's Island, Maryland, USA, including the newly described pupa of P. bystraki.</p> <p>Harris (1981) and Elson-Harris (1990) described the pupa of " Ceratopogon sp. n. 1" from Australia which would fit the diagnosis and distinctive description of Parabezzia here (the reared adult was not subsequently described). The described presence of eight sensilla on abdominal segment 4 (she likely missed the small campaniform sensilla D-4-IV and D-7-IV, hence a total of 10) is unique within the Ceratopogoninae for Parabezzia. However, at present there are no Parabezzia otherwise known from the Australasian Region. One potential candidate may be Heteroceratopogon, a genus related to Parabezzia and present in Australia. Unfortunately, the original material has been lost (Marlene Elson-Harris, pers. comm. 1993).</p> <p>If Harris (1981) correctly associated the larvae with the pupa and the above reidentification is correct, she provides the only larval description of a species of Parabezzia (or the only known larva and pupa of Heteroceratopogon).</p> <p>Grogan &amp; Wirth (1977a) illustrated the dorsal apotomes of species of Parabezzia with DA-2-H being a very short seta but reexamination of original material indicates that these are campaniform sensilla, as in nearly all other Ceratopogonidae.

An unpublished record from Borneo is known (pers. obs.). The only known immature, the pupa of E. lanei described here, was collected from Flanders, New York, USA. The Flanders Pond site was scrubby red maple growth flooded with a few inches of clear water (Hugo Jamnback, pers. comm.). Grogan (1975) reported a reared specimen of E. lanei collected from under bark of a rotting log in Maryland, USA and Knausenberger (1987) found this species in damp dark brown mud (his collection No. 29) in a roadside ditch in Virginia, USA. De Meillon &amp; Wirth (1991) noted two African species reared from wet soil and from mud at a pond margin.</p> <p>TAXONOMIC DISCUSSION: Only one moderately well preserved pupa of Echinohelea is known, that of E. lanei (Tables 2–3). Wirth (1994b) provided an earlier description. Details of the sensilla distribution of abdominal segment 4 differs here because the specimen was distorted by compression and is reconstructed here. The dorsal apotome of the specimen was not present and cannot, therefore, be characterized.</p> <p>Wirth (1994b) noted that the pupa of Echinohelea was similar to some Heteromyiini (as described by Elson-Harris &amp; Kettle 1986) and this is reflected in the phylogenetic relationship supported here (and Borkent 1995) between Echinohelea and Heteromyiini + Sphaeromiini s. lat. + Palpomyiini + Stenoxenini.</p> <p>MATERIAL EXAMINED: E. lanei: 1 pupal exuviae, Flanders Pond, Flanders, New York, USA, 4-VI-1963 (NYSM).</p> </div>	http://treatment.plazi.org/id/027587C9BD67303CFD6618314C72E0AC	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

Immatures are known from the margins of streams, fens, seepage area into a lake, muddy margins of rice paddies, and rock pools (de Meillon &amp; Wirth 1991, Knausenberger 1987).</p> <p>TAXONOMIC DISCUSSION: There are seven species of Clinohelea known as pupae (Tables 2–3). Spinelli &amp; Duret (1993) included the differences between the two Neotropical species known in their key to the adults. Elson-Harris &amp; Kettle (1986) keyed the two known Australian species.</p> <p>Wirth &amp; Grogan (1979) illustrated the dorsal apotome of C. bimaculata with an excavated dorsal margin but reexamination of this species indicates that this was likely based on a damaged or misdrawn specimen. Elson-Harris &amp; Kettle (1986) illustrated abdominal segment 4 of C. dryas with D-7-IV in a posterior position, which would be unique within a broader group, including the Heteromyiini + Sphaeromiini s. lat. + Palpomyiini + Stenoxenini (see character 63); the species should be reexamined. They likely overlooked both D-4-IV and D-7-IV in their illustrations of C. tasmaniensis.</p> <p>Elson-Harris (1990) used the enlarged base upon which DA-1-H is situated (on the dorsal apotome) to distinguish Australian Heteromyiini. Within this region (and elsewhere), the feature does not characterize Pellucidomyia and therefore is not inclusive. The base is large and swollen in Clinohelea (Figs. 20M–N) but I could not consistently use this feature to distinguish this genus from some Sphaeromiini s. lat. (e.g. Fig. 21D, F). The strongly tapering dorsal portion of the dorsal apotome of Clinohelea pointed out by Elson-Harris (1990) is distinctive within the Heteromyiini + Sphaeromiini s. lat. + Palpomyiini + Stenoxenini.</p> <p>MATERIAL EXAMINED: C. bimaculata: 1 pupal exuviae, Spruce Knob Lane, Randolph County, Virginia, USA, 21-VII-1976 (VPIC).

Pupae of this genus are distinctive (see diagnosis) and easily distinguishable from other Ceratopogonidae. Examination of the pupae of South African species Macropeza geari indicates that it shares the pupal synapomorphies of P. leei and that it belongs within this genus as a new combination as follows:</p> <p>Pellucidomyia geari (de Meillon &amp; Wirth), 1981: 547 (Macropeza). new combination.</p> <p>Pellucidomyia geari is otherwise known only as the male holotype. Because males of Heteromyiini + Sphaeromiini s. lat. + Palpomyiini + Stenoxenini are generally poorly characterized in much of the world, a generic misplacement is more than possible. Additionally, the male adult P. geari is very similar to that of P. sambulena (de Meillon) 1942 which likely is a senior synonym. Examination of the types is needed to confirm this possibility.</p> <p>MATERIAL EXAMINED: P. geari: 1 pupal exuviae (of holotype), Burgershall, Hazyview, East Transvaal, South Africa, 3-XII-1973 (NMSA).

The two species were reared from either "bamboo peat" (Johannsen 1932) in Indonesia or a tree hole in Singapore (Wirth &amp; Ratanaworabhan 1981a).</p> <p>TAXONOMIC DISCUSSION: The pupae of this genus are known from two species (Tables 2–3). Originally described as Johannsenomyia prominens by Johannsen (1932), Mayer (1934a:244, 1934c) described the pupa of this Indonesian species as (?) Homohelea prominens, based on the pupal exuviae from which the male holotype of this species was reared. Wirth (1973) placed the species in Mallochohelea as a new combination but did not identify it as such or give any justification for doing so and this is where it has remained since. The descriptions by Mayer (1934a, 1934c), however, clearly indicate the presence of the elongate seta at the base of the terminal process, a feature of Dibezzia and unique within the Ceratopogoninae. In addition, Mayer (1934c) noted the presence of "breiten Schuppen" (broad scales) on the surface of the respiratory organ, which is what the fine scales appear as in D. debenhamae. This feature is unique within the Heteromyiini + Sphaeromiini s. lat. + Palpomyiini + Stenoxenini. I therefore remove the name from Mallochohelea and consider it a member of Dibezzia as follows: Dibezzia prominens (Johannsen) 1932: 435 (Johannsenomyia). new combination.</p> <p>Dibezzia prominens, as illustrated by Mayer (1934c), has D-5-IV represented as a small campaniform sensillum or perhaps a very small seta and D-7-IV located posterolateral to D-3-IV (like other members of Heteromyiini + Sphaeromiini s. lat. + Palpomyiini + Stenoxenini; see character 64). I could not find either on the single, dirty, and distorted specimen of D. debenhamae I examined.</p> <p>MATERIAL EXAMINED: D. debenhamae: 1 pupal exuviae (of allotype), Singapore, VI-1959 (USNM).</p> </div>	http://treatment.plazi.org/id/027587C9BD613026FD4E199F4801E6A4	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

Larvae are present in the benthos of lakes, reservoirs, rivers and streams and pupae can be found on their margins. The pupae of some species are particularly common in the flotsam on beaches (Williams 1955, pers. obs.). Knausenberger (1987) provides detailed information on the behaviour, ecology and distribution of the immatures of a number of species in the eastern USA.</p> <p>TAXONOMIC DISCUSSION: The pupae of 14 species of Probezzia have been described (Tables 2–3). The abdominal membranous discs are present or absent in different species of Probezzia and it is clear that the feature is homoplastic within the genus, with even otherwise very similar species with or without the discs. Knausenberger (1987) discussed the puzzling presence or absence but could not indicate a related ecological factor to explain this character state distribution. Pupae of P. seminigra have abdominal membranous discs on sternites 5–7. However, one male, certainly conspecific with others from the same locality, had discs on only the posterior half of 5 and then full ones on 6–7, indicating intraspecific variation. The feature is discussed further under Character 50.</p> <p>Study of a series of Probezzia pallida indicated that at least three species are actually present under this name. Specimens from each of North Dakota, of Ottawa, Ontario and Allegeny, New York and of other localities in New York could be distinguished based on the presence or absence of pupal abdominal membranous discs, shapes and sizes of pupal CL-1-H, D-1-T and D-2-T, size and pigmentation of male adult antenna, size of female adult claws, and pigmentation of female adult postnotum.</p> <p>MATERIAL EXAMINED: P. albitibia: 3 pupal exuviae (of paratypess), Algonquin Park, Ontario, Canada, 8- VI-1960 (USNM); 2 pupal exuviae, Meachum Lake, New York, USA, 21-VI-1986 (CNCI); 3 pupal exuviae (of paratypes), Blue Mountain Lake, Hamilton County, New York, USA, 10-VI-1960 (USNM); 2 pupal exuviae (of paratypes), Piercefield, St. Lawrence County, New York, USA, 26-VI-1963 (USNM); 1 pupal exuviae (of paratype), Potomac River at Scott Run, Fairfax County, Virginia, 4-VI-1955 (USNM).

Mayer (1957) also described the pupa of J. albidorsata (de Meillon) (as a Dicrohelea) but I have examined the specimen and it is in fact a species of Bezzia. De Meillon (1937) in his description of the adult actually noted that the pupal exuviae of the holotype had been mixed with those of a Palpomyia and a Bezzia and its identification was therefore uncertain. Mayer (1957) however was clearly unaware of the uncertain association and described the purported pupal exuviae as if it was that of J. albidorsata. Debenham (1974) gave a brief synopsis of the pupa of Johannsenomyia but based it on the misidentified description by Mayer (1957).</p> <p>MATERIAL EXAMINED: J. argentata: 1 pupal exuviae, Storrs, Connecticut, USA, 1-VI-1953 (USNM); 1 pupal exuviae, Patuxent Wildlife Refuge, Prince George’s County, Maryland, USA, 24-V-1977 (USNM); 6 pupal exuviae, Potomac River at Scott Run, Fairfax County, Virginia, USA, 7-VI-1955 (USNM).</p> </div>	http://treatment.plazi.org/id/027587C9BD77302CFD831EDA49E0E77C	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

Elson-Harris (1987) described the abdominal segment 4 sensilla of L. miles and appears to show the lateral and posterior sensilla as relatively more posterior on the segment than shown here (Fig. 67C). It appears that she did not draw part of the posterior portion of the segment (as she did do for L. electra). Elson-Harris (1987) keyed the two Australian species.</p> <p>MATERIAL EXAMINED: L. electra: 1 pupal exuviae, Yellow Water, Australia, 14-I-1956 (ANIC).

Immatures are known from stream and river margins, lakes and ponds. Knausenberger (1987) discusses the various habitats in which A. atripes was collected in the eastern USA. At least some pupae were on emergent vegetation (although they do not have abdominal membranous discs).</p> <p>TAXONOMIC DISCUSSION: Pupae are known from two species (Tables 2–3). All the species placed here in the new genus Anebomyia were previously in Mallochohelea. The new genus is recognized because the newly included species are not related to those now restricted to Mallochohelea, a genus most closely related to Jenkinshelea, Macropeza, Probezzia and Neobezzia (see phylogenetic analysis below, Fig. 81).</p> <p>There are differences between the two genera in both male and female adults and in pupae, with most of the adult features not yet interpreted cladistically (but see character 85). They are summarized as follows:</p> <p>Knausenberger (1987: 267-277) provided further differences between the two genera (as albibasis and atripes groups), including a larval feature. His information was based on Nearctic species and the character states need further testing with extraterritorial material.</p> <p>As indicated above, members of Anebomyia differ from true Mallochohelea by the absence of distinctive tufts of elongate setae on sternite 8 of female adults. In A. atripes, elongate setae are absent. In A. fluminea there are elongate setae on sternite 8 but these are not arranged as a tight tuft (as is true in Mallochohelea and other related genera; see character 85). Examination of female adult M. texensis indicates that it too lacks a well defined sternite 8 tuft.</p> <p>Wirth (1962), in erecting Mallochohelea, pointed out that some of the included species such as M. atripes, M. spinipes and M. texensis differed considerably from the genotype (M. albibasis) and "may, eventually need a separate category". He further pointed out in a strikingly prescient statement "The discovery of the pupa of this group should also serve greatly to clarify its relationships". The pupae have indeed provided the synapomorphies to clarify the relationship of these species.</p> <p>Although Wirth (1962) considered M. spinipes as closely related to A. atripes, I have not included it in Anebomyia. I have not examined material of this species and know only that the adult female has spines on its femora; the sternite 8 tufts are not described and the male remains unknown. Like this and a number of other species presently in Mallochohelea, reexamination of specimens is needed before the names are potentially transferred to the new genus. Of course, knowing the pupae of further species will certainly clarify their taxonomic position.</p> <p>All European species of Mallochohelea fit the characterization of this genus (Patrycja Dominiak, pers. comm.). The female of the European/Asian species M. tianshanica, however, has spines on the femora and welldeveloped sternite 8 setal tufts (Patrycja Dominiak, pers. comm.) and the male has basally fused parameres (Remm 1980). This suggests that M. tianshanica is a true Mallochohelea but is the only species known with femoral spines. Debenham's (1974) description of Mallochohelea and the included Australian species suggests that they all actually belong within Mallochohelea. The presence of femoral spines on the Afrotropical species M. kirki (de Meillon &amp; Wirth 1981) may indicate they are members of Anebomyia but the presence or absence of the female sternite 8 setal tufts is unknown and males are undescribed, making its placement uncertain. The African species M. siricis has a female with spines on the forefemur and the male has separate parameres; although the condition of the female sternite 8 seta tufts is uncertain, I consider this sufficient evidence to place it in Anebomyia. The Chinese species M. yunnana, known only as a female, has femora spines and lacks the sternite 8 setal tufts, indicating it too is an Anebomyia.</p> <p>Included species:</p> <p>Anebomyia atripes (Wirth), 1962: 281 (Mallochohelea).

Pupae have been found in sand from a river margin and from a lily pond.</p> <p>TAXONOMIC DISCUSSION: The pupae of two species of Leehelea are known (Tables 2–3). Male and female pupae of Homohelea and Sphaeromias, two genera closely related to Leehelea, are sexually dimorphic in the arrangement of their forelegs. In males, the foreleg is relatively short (Figs. 40A, D) while in females the foreleg overlaps the midleg entirely (Figs. 40B, E). Only female pupae of Leehelea are known (Fig. 40C) and it is likely that the males, once discovered, will share this dimorphism (see character 44).</p> <p>The dorsal apotome of one specimen was present but at too great an angle to illustrate. Seta DA-A-1 could not be seen but was likely broken off (considering that all Ceratopogonidae other than some Forcipomyia have a seta present). Overall, the shape of the dorsal apotome appeared similar to that of Sphaeromias longipennis.</p> <p>Debenham (1974) noted that the pupae of Leehelea were similar to those of Sphaeromias and neither could I find any differences between the two of any significance. Considering these strong similarities, the validity of recognizing the two genera should be reconsidered. Regarding the differences given by Debenham (1974), Sphaeromias may be paraphyletic in relation to Leehelea. They are separated primarily on the basis of a single difference in the shape of the female claw (presence or absence of an inner tooth and their length) and degree of fusion of the male parameres. Further differences seem to me to be minor (size of leg setae and their bases) or invalid (the brush on the ventral surface of Ta 4 is present in at least S. longipennis). Nandi et al. (2012) lists other differences but at least most apply to both genera.</p> <p>Elson-Harris (1987) keyed the pupae of the two Australian species, L. hispida and L. wasselli.</p> <p>MATERIAL EXAMINED: L. hispida: 1 pupal exuviae, Nepean River, Menangle, New South Wales, Australia, 9-XII-1968 (ANIC).

The only known pupa was collected in mud from "aus einem klaren Gewässer" (a clear body of water) (Mayer 1957).</p> <p>TAXONOMIC DISCUSSION: Only one species of Xenohelea is known as a pupa (Tables 2–3). Male and female pupae of Homohelea and Sphaeromias, two genera closely related to Xenohelea, are sexually dimorphic in the arrangement of their forelegs. In males, the foreleg is relatively short (Figs. 40A, D) while in females the foreleg overlaps the midleg entirely (Figs. 40B, E). Only one female Xenohelea is known (Fig. 40F) and it is likely that the male, once discovered, will share this dimorphism (see character 44).</p> <p>Mayer (1957) described the same specimen as I studied here, the only one known for the genus. He shows D- 8-IV and D-9-IV on separate, abutting tubercles but they are clearly located together on a single rounded tubercle. In addition, he showed V-5-IV and V-6-IV on a single tubercle, which was indeed present on one side but slightly separated on the other (that drawn here). The dorsal apotome of the single available specimen was missing and cannot, therefore, be characterized.</p> <p>The female holotype was remounted in Canada Balsam from drying and damaged Hoyer's, perhaps accounting for some slight differences between the description here and that by Mayer (1957) (e.g. body length).</p> <p>MATERIAL EXAMINED: X. galatea: 1 pupal exuviae (of holotype), Nametil Quelimane, Mozambique, 7-I- 1940 (SAIM).</p> </div>	http://treatment.plazi.org/id/027587C9BD4C3015FD511B5F4C46E039	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

(1955) and not diagnosable.</p> <p>DESCRIPTION: Known only from one limited description by Lane et al. (1955), with the following character states discernable: Head: Dorsal apotome (Fig. 22B), uncertain ventral line of weakness, without dorsomedial tubercle, without central dome. Thorax: Respiratory organ (Fig. 46G) length/width = 4.00, elongate, moderately slender, with pores closely abutting at apex of respiratory organ, arranged in single row. Abdomen: tergites or sternites entire, each without membranous disc; segment 9 not strongly modified, terminal processes separated basally, each projecting posterodorsolaterally, tapering to pointed apex.</p> <p>DISTRIBUTION AND HABITAT: The genus Amerohelea is known from 13 species in the New World (Borkent 2014). The only specimen known was collected from a reservoir with abundant vegetation and open, sunny exposure (Lane et al. 1955).</p> <p>TAXONOMIC DISCUSSION: No specimens of this genus were examined and the pupa is known only from the brief description of A. sordidipes by Lane et al. (1955). Lane et al. (1955) included drawings of the dorsal apotome, respiratory organ and abdominal tergites 3–9. The dorsal apotome is of a unique outline, no sensilla were illustrated (Fig. 22B) and it is almost certainly poorly drawn. The respiratory organ was drawn in an anterior/ posterior perspective (Fig. 46G) and so the length/width noted here as 4.00 (taken from the drawing) is only approximate. The drawing of the abdomen did not provide enough resolution to determine the identification of most sensilla (only D-2-IV and D-3-IV can be identified with any confidence) and is not replicated here.</p> <p>The few features of the pupa previously reported means this genus could neither be keyed nor interpreted phylogenetically. The presence of abdominal tergal apodemes of adult females indicates the genus is a member of the Palpomyiini.</p> <p>The previously described pupa of A. sordidipes was not in the collections of the Faculdade de Saude Publica, Universidade de Sao Paulo (Anice Sallum, pers. comm.) or at the Museu de Zoologia, Universidade de São Paulo (Carlos José Einicker Lamas, pers. comm.) both of which otherwise house some Lane material.</p> <p>MATERIAL EXAMINED: None available.</p></div> 	http://treatment.plazi.org/id/027587C9BD4D3015FD9B18C24FB0E49C	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

Abdomen: pigmentation light brown, with tergite 1 with 3 medial spots, tergites 2–7 with medial area with stripe, 2 anterolateral spots, sternites 3–7 with medial stripe, anterolateral spot (light brown), segment 2 as wide or slightly wider than segment 3, segments with undivided, thin to thick setae, with rounded to pointed, short to moderately elongate tubercles, tergites or sternites entire, each without membranous disc; segment 9 (Figs. 77E–H) not strongly modified, terminal processes closely approximated to separated basally, each projecting posterodorsolaterally, tapering to pointed apex, in some very slender; sensilla: tergite 1 (Fig. 53D) with 8 setae, 2 campaniform sensilla, including 3–4 lateral sensilla, D-2-I, D-3-I closely approximated, D-7-I situated anterolaterally near L-1-I to anteriorly near D-3-I; segment 4 (Fig. 69C)—D-2-IV, D-3-IV short setae on short tubercles; D-5-IV, D-8-IV, D-9-IV short to moderately elongate setae, D-7-IV present or absent; D-5-IV on single, short tubercle, D-8-IV, D-9-IV on basally fused or separate but closely approximated tubercles, posterior dorsal sensilla in transverse row, arranged medially to laterally: D-5-IV, D-4-IV, D-8-IV, D-9-IV; D-7-IV, if present, near D-3-IV; L-1-IV short to moderately elongate seta on rounded tubercle, well anterior of posterior lateral setae; L-2- IV, L-3-IV, L-4-IV short to moderately elongate setae on rounded tubercles, L-2-IV, L-3-IV on single tubercle in some, V-5-IV, V-6-IV, V-7-IV short setate on short tubercles, all closely approximated or with V-7-IV closer to L-4- IV; segment 8 without D-3-VIII, without L-1-VIII; with V-5-VIII, V-6-VIII on single tubercle, V-5-VIII tiny, V-6- VIII elongate; segment 9 (Figs. 77E–H)—with D-5-IX, D-6-IX campaniform sensilla.</p> <p>DISTRIBUTION AND HABITAT: The genus Bezzia is known from 319 species from every Region worldwide (Borkent 2014). Immatures have been recorded from a wide array of habitats including rice fields, springs, streams, river margins, wet moss, various phytotelmata, pools, marshes, bogs, fens, algal mats in lentic habitats, lakes, and reservoirs.</p> <p>TAXONOMIC DISCUSSION: The pupae of 51 species of Bezzia are known (Tables 2–3). Goeze (1780) described but did not name a species which is probably a Bezzia, providing the first morphological study describing the chaetotaxy of the larva and pupa (Fig. 6B) of a Ceratopogonidae. It was later named Tipula goezii by Schrank (1803). I have placed it in Bezzia as a new combination as follows but the name is so out of date that it must be considered a nomen nudum. The long slender terminal process and somewhat clavate apex of the respiratory organ (Figs. 46H, 46J) is a distinctive combination of many species of Bezzia.</p> <p>Bezzia goezii (Schrank), 1803: 72 (Tipula). Quedlinburg, Germany. new combination.</p> <p>Some species have been described more than once by the same author (Table 2) but with different names (now synonyms) (e.g. B. circumdata, B. leucogaster, B. nobilis), suggesting either misidentifications or the possibility of more than one species actually present.</p> <p>Thomsen (1937) gave a key to three species known to her at that time but one of these, P. flavitarsis, is now recognized as a Palpomyia. Thomsen (1937) drew the dorsal apotomes of species of Bezzia with more than one seta (per side) but likely misinterpreted the multiple campaniform sensilla as the broken bases of setae.</p> <p>Thienemann (1928) and Mayer (1934a) provided keys to European species groups. Lenz (1934) provided a key to European species but primarily used habitats to distinguish these and, for most, this almost certainly results in inaccurate identifications. Harris (1981) described and keyed the pupae of six unnamed species of Bezzia from Australia.</p> <p>Wirth (1983a, 1983b, 1983c) diagnosed the pupae of some Nearctic and Neotropical Bezzia in the cockerelli, bicolor, and nobilis species groups but did not do so for the remaining species groups of Bezzia. At present, pupae of Bezzia cannot be diagnosed as a genus and therefore providing a key to the species in a given region is superfluous. Unless a diagnosis becomes available all Bezzia should be keyed with species of Palpomyia and Phaenobezzia. Alternately, it would be possible to key all species with more than one campaniform sensillum on the dorsal apotome, which would include nearly all Bezzia and a few Palpomyia, depending on the area being covered.</p> <p>Nearly all Bezzia have more than one campaniform sensillum on the dorsal apotome (see character 6). The only exceptions seen are of B. brevicornis, B. bromeliae and B. dorsasetula, each with one seta and one campaniform sensillum.</p> <p>Bezzia xanthogaster (Kieffer), 1919: 130 (Probezzia) is a junior homonym of Probezzia xanthogaster (Kieffer), 1917: 329 (Bezzia) and is here given the new name Bezzia gilvigaster (a similar specific name also meaning yellow stomach (abdomen for the adult this species).</p> <p>MATERIAL EXAMINED: B. africana: 1 pupal exuviae, Burgershall, Hazyview, Transvaal, South Africa, 3- XII-1973 (NMSA); 1 pupal exuviae, Magaliesberg Agricultural School, Transvaal, South Africa, 13-XI-1973 (NMSA).

Immatures have been collected from streams, hot springs, river margins, marshes, bogs, fens, ponds, lakes and reservoirs.</p> <p>TAXONOMIC DISCUSSION: There are 41 species of Palpomyia known as pupae (Tables 2–3). Thienemann (1928), Mayer (1934a) and Lenz (1934) provided similar keys to a few European species groups known at that time. Grogan &amp; Wirth (1979), in their masterful revision of Nearctic Palpomyia, provide a key to the pupae of 16 species known from the Nearctic. However, it is unfortunate that Palpomyia pupae cannot be diagnosed at the generic level so that we cannot yet identify a Palpomyia pupa as such. The key therefore requires foreknowledge that the specimen is a member of the genus (e.g. reared to adult).</p> <p>Liu &amp; Yu (1991) described the monotypic genus Nemoromyia Liu &amp; Yu based on their newly described N. nemorosa Liu &amp; Yu. They stated that the genus was a member of the Heteromyiini. Borkent (1998) indicated that the species was actually a species of Palpomyia based on various described features but that the type should be reexamined before nomenclatural changes are made. Yu et al. (2005) continued to place the genus and species in the Heteromyiini, although the evidence for this was unclear (it is not noted in the English abstract, but I have not translated the longer Chinese text). I have reexamined the female holotype and associated pupal exuviae and it is clearly a member of the Palpomyia distincta species group and, within this group, is very similar to P. rufa Loew (Grogan &amp; Wirth 1979). The female has the characteristic synapomorphy of posteromedially directed lobes on sternite 8 of the P. distincta group. Furthermore, tergite 8 is very short (much shorter than tergite 7), a feature which is a synapomorphy of the Palpomyiini (the feature is unique in the Ceratopogonidae), further supporting its position as a species of Palpomyia. The pupa of N. nemorosa is very similar to a number of other species of Palpomyia (as indicated in the key). Liu &amp; Yu (1991) noted that the adult female lacked the abdominal tergal apodemes which is a synapomorphy of the Palpomyiini. However, as shown by Borkent &amp; Craig (1994), newly emerged female adults of this group do not show the apodemes which sclerotize and darken after emergence. It is not surprising, therefore, that this reared specimen was reported as lacking the apodemes. I therefore recognize Nemoromyia as a new synonym of Palpomyia and the species as a new combination as follows:</p> <p>Palpomyia nemorosa (Liu &amp; Yu), 1991: 26 (Nemoromyia). Raohe, Heilongjiang Province, China. new combination.</p> <p>The pupa of P. lineata has been described more than once by the same authors (Table 2) but with different names (now synonyms), suggesting either misidentifications or the possibility of more than one species actually being present in Europe.</p> <p>Ronderos et al. (2004) gave a detailed description of the pupa of P. guarani. Their figure of the cephalothorax (their fig. 14) shows the apex of the halter extending only barely past the anterior margin of tergite 2. This would be unique within the Palpomyia + Bezzia + Phaenobezzia + Clastrieromyia + Stenoxenini clade, where the halter extends to about 1/6 the length of tergite 2. Paul et al. (2014) recently thoroughly described the pupa of a species from India, the first known from the Oriental Region, but misidentified some of the sensilla (e.g. SA-2-T, L-3-IV, L-4-IV).</p> <p>MATERIAL EXAMINED: P. aldrichi: 2 pupal exuviae, Agoura, Los Angeles County, California, USA, 7- IV-1954 (USNM); 2 pupal exuviae, Hopland, Mendocino County, California, USA, 19-V-1964 (USNM).

Immatures have been collected from stream and river margins, seepage pools, rice fields, back waters of rivers, marshes (usually among vegetation), among Pistia stratiotes, lake margins and reservoirs. Knausenberger (1987) provides some further microhabitat information for P. opaca.</p> <p>TAXONOMIC DISCUSSION: The pupae of nine species of Phaenobezzia are known (Tables 2–3).</p> <p>Haeselbarth (1965) used the shape of the terminal processes to distinguish the pupae of the four African species he studied and indicated some further character states which may separate some species. Thomsen (1937) drew the dorsal apotome of P. opaca with two setae (and no campaniform sensillum); she likely mistook the campaniform sensillum as the broken base of a seta. Wirth &amp; Grogan (1982) drew abdominal segment 4 of P. opaca with V-7-IV situated laterally, close to L-4-IV and this is significantly different than that observed here for this species and all other Phaenobezzia (Fig. 71B).</p> <p>MATERIAL EXAMINED: P. cinnae: 2 pupal exuviae, Shaw’s Drift, Eshowe, Zululand, South Africa, 9-IX- 1936 (1 USNM, 1 SAIM); 2 pupal exuviae, no data (ZSMC).
