| revision of the ketaketa subcomplex of blackflies of the simulium damnosum complex. | a revision of the taxonomy of the ketaketa subcomplex of the simulium damnosum theobald complex (diptera: simuliidae) is presented including new material from tanzania, malawi and south africa. the cytotaxonomy, morphology and molecular identity of known and new taxa are described. the ketaketa subcomplex is cytotaxonomically defined by the paracentric inversion 1l-7. we recognize three sibling species, namely simulium latipollex (enderlein), simulium plumbeum krueger, sp.n. and simulium kipenge ... | 2006 | 16608492 |
| guide to blackflies of the simulium damnosum complex in eastern and southern africa. | at least 26 members of the simulium damnosum theobald complex (diptera: simuliidae) are known from eastern africa, most of which are assumed to be non-anthropophilic and some are restricted to small areas of endemicity. their discovery was based on polytene chromosome inversion polymorphisms and since then they have been cited as cytological entities, but, in many cases, with inadequate descriptions (e.g. without illustrations of the chromosomes). the present distribution, taxonomy and vector id ... | 2006 | 16608491 |
