Abstract
We provide a review of biting midges in the Dasyhelea atlantis-bermudae complex in the D. mutabilis group in the United States and Caribbean region. We also describe and include photomicrographs of D. atlantis Wirth & Williams, D. bermudae W. & W., three new species from Florida and a 4th new species from Jamaica. A key to adults in the D. atlantis-bermudae complex is provided as well as the first records of D. atlantis from Mexico and a new USA record from Maryland.
期刊介绍:
Zootaxa is a peer-reviewed international journal for rapid publication of high quality papers on any aspect of systematic zoology, with a preference for large taxonomic works such as monographs and revisions. Zootaxa considers papers on all animal taxa, both living and fossil, and especially encourages descriptions of new taxa. All types of taxonomic papers are considered, including theories and methods of systematics and phylogeny, taxonomic monographs, revisions and reviews, catalogues/checklists, biographies and bibliographies, identification guides, analysis of characters, phylogenetic relationships and zoogeographical patterns of distribution, descriptions of taxa, and nomenclature. Open access publishing option is strongly encouraged for authors with research grants and other funds. For those without grants/funds, all accepted manuscripts will be published but access is secured for subscribers only.
