Morphology and Polytene Chromosomes of a New Species of Simulium (Trichodagmia) (Diptera: Simuliidae) from the Espinhaço Mountains of Brazil
The species richness of black flies in the Simulium (Trichodagmia) orbitale (Diptera: Simuliidae) species group is greatest in southern Brazil, where 9 of 19 species are found. A new species in the S. orbitale group was collected during a survey of black flies in Minas Gerais state, Brazil, in the E...
