Abstract
ABSTRACTDasyhelea bifida Zilahi-Sebess is fully redescribed, photographed and drawn from adults collected in Mexico City by Alfonso Dampf in 1944. This species is compared with the American congeners D. crassiseta Borkent and Forster, D. furva Remm and D. pollex Borkent and Forster. This is a new record of this species from Mexico.KEYWORDS: Biting midgesNearctic regionredescriptionnew recordsdistribution AcknowledgementsWe are very grateful to Professor Laura Morote for her help with the design of illustrations.We thank G.R. Spinelli for his valuable comments and suggestions on an earlier draft of the manuscript.Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the authors.Additional informationFundingThe authors reported there is no funding associated with the work featured in this article.
期刊介绍:
Journal of Natural History is an international zoological journal publishing original research and reviews in evolutionary biology and ecology. It maintains its historical niche by publishing a broad range of systematics papers on all animal phyla from Porifera to Chordata, encompassing traditional taxonomic revisions and descriptions, cladistic analyses and molecular phylogenetics and phylogenomics. The journal has recognized strengths in entomology and marine invertebrates, but also welcomes papers on the natural history of all animal species and on the interactions of species with their environment. Preference is given to in-depth papers and extensive taxonomic reviews: single species descriptions and checklists are not normally considered. Authors wishing to suggest a review paper should contact the relevant editor.
