Abstract

This study was carried out of the region of Monastir in Central Tunisia, between July and August 2010. Larvae were collected using a floatation technique with magnesium sulfate in mud samples. The fourth instar larva of Culicoides cataneii Clastrier, 1957 and Culicoides sahariensis Callot, Kremer, Bailly-Choumara, 1970 are described, illustrated and drawn. Measurements of instars IV are also presented. This is the first record of Culicoides cataneii and Culicoides sahariensis (Diptera: Ceratopogonidae) to Tunisia.

摘要

本研究于2010年7月至8月在突尼斯中部的莫纳斯提尔地区开展。采用硫酸镁浮选技术从泥浆样本中收集幼虫。对1957年发现的卡氏库蠓和1970年发现的撒哈拉库蠓的四龄幼虫进行了描述、说明及绘图，并给出了四龄幼虫的测量数据。这是卡氏库蠓和撒哈拉库蠓（双翅目：蠓科）在突尼斯的首次记录。
