| uncovering the mask of the simulium feuerborni complex (diptera: simuliidae): description of a new pseudocryptic species simulium pairoti from malaysia. | a black fly species of the simulium feuerborni species-group of simulium (nevermannia) from cameron highland, peninsular malaysia, previously regarded as s. feuerborni edwards, originally described from east java, is described as simulium pairoti sp. nov. based on complete life stages. high intraspecific variations in the arrangement of the six pupal gill filaments, length of the stalk of the ventral paired filaments, and length of the anterodorsal projection of the cocoon, are noted in this spe ... | 2017 | 28185824 |
| simulium ledangense, a new species of the simulium feuerborni species-group of the subgenus nevermannia (diptera: simuliidae) from mount ledang, peninsular malaysia. | simulium (nevermannia) ledangense sp. nov. is described from females, males, pupae and mature larvae from peninsular malaysia. this new species is assigned to the simulium feuerborni species-group of the subgenus nevermannia, and is characterized by the pupa having a very long stalk of the ventral paired gill filaments, which is almost five times longer than the interspiracular trunk and female tergites of segments 2 and 5 to 7 shiny. taxonomic notes are given to distinguish this new species fro ... | 2014 | 25543632 |
| three new species of simulium (nevermannia) (diptera: simuliidae) from vietnam. | three new species of black flies, simulium (nevermannia) langbiangense, s. (n.) phami, and s. (n.) bachmaense, are described on the basis of females, males, pupae and larvae collected in vietnam. all three species are assigned to the simulium feuerborni species-group of simulium (nevermannia). simulium (n.) langbiangense sp. nov. is characterized by the female sensory vesicle with a large opening, and a short common basal stalk of the six pupal gill filaments, s. (n.) phami sp. nov. is most stri ... | 2014 | 25283675 |
| dna barcoding of tropical black flies (diptera: simuliidae) of thailand. | the ecological and medical importance of black flies drives the need for rapid and reliable identification of these minute, structurally uniform insects. we assessed the efficiency of dna barcoding for species identification of tropical black flies. a total of 351 cytochrome c oxidase subunit 1 sequences were obtained from 41 species in six subgenera of the genus simulium in thailand. despite high intraspecific genetic divergence (mean = 2.00%, maximum = 9.27%), dna barcodes provided 96% correct ... | 2014 | 24112561 |
| chromosomal evidence for a new cryptic species of black fly in the <i>simulium</i> <i>praelargum</i> complex (diptera: simuliidae) from west bengal, india. | analyses of polytene chromosomes revealed a new cryptic species of black fly, simulium praelargum "il", in the simulium (nevermania) feuerborni group from darjeeling, west bengal, india. this new species occurred sympatrically with two other previously recognized species in the s. praelargum complex: simulium praelargum datta sensu stricto and simulium praelargum "iiil-1.2". chromosome arms is, iis, iil, and iiis of the new species showed no differences in banding patterns, compared with the seq ... | 2017 | 28610135 |
| cytogenetic and molecular evidence of additional cryptic diversity in high elevation black fly simulium feuerborni (diptera: simuliidae) populations in southeast asia. | simulium feuerborni edwards is geographically widespread in southeast asia. previous cytogenetic study in thailand revealed that this species is a species complex composed of two cytoforms (a and b). in this study, we cytologically examined specimens obtained from the cameron highlands, malaysia, and puncak, java, indonesia. the results revealed two additional cytoforms (c and d) of s. feuerborni. specimens from malaysia represent cytoform c, differentiated from other cytoforms by a fixed chromo ... | 2015 | 26336220 |
| heterochromatin and sibling species of simulium praelargum s.l. (diptera: simuliidae). | cytological descriptions are given for two sympatric sibling species, simulium praelargum iiil-st and simulium praelargum iiil-1.2, from darjeeling, west bengal, india. sibling iiil-1.2 differs from iiil-st by a two step fixed included inversion (iiil-1.2) found on the long arm of chromosome iii. both siblings possess heterochromatinized iiis polytene chromosome ends, while iiil-1.2 is unique within the simuliidae in that it exhibits a very large enhanced chromocentre that persists in normal som ... | 2014 | 25005610 |
| a new species of simulium (nevermannia) (diptera, simuliidae) from thailand, with keys to members of the simulium feuerborni species-group in thailand. | simulium (nevermannia) maeaiensesp. n. is described on the basis of female, male, pupal and larval specimens collected from chiang mai province, thailand. this species is assigned to the feuerborni species-group of the subgenus simulium (nevermannia), and is distinctive among this species-group in having the female cibarium furnished with numerous dark minute conical processes on the lower part, the female genital fork with a strongly sclerotized horizontal bar on each arm, and six long pupal gi ... | 2011 | 21594085 |
