THE CERATOPOGONIDAE
INFORMATION EXCHANGE
The
CIE, issued twice a year (no subscription costs but donations to help
with
photocopying/mailing costs are welcomed), was begun in 1968 as a
newsletter to
facilitate communication between workers interested in Ceratopogonidae. The format is extremely flexible.
Contributions may be of any length and deal
with any subject having some bearing on the study of ceratopogonids. For example, contributors may report their
current interests or plans, observations or techniques of probable
value to the
readership, requests for addresses, study material or reprints, or any
other
matter of concern. The newsletter serves
also as a bulletin for planning and communicating information on
meetings,
symposia, workshops and so forth.
Finally, there is in every issue a compilation of recent
literature in
the field.
Any
person(s) wishing to contribute to the newsletter or to receive future
issues
via e-mail should contact:

Recent
Literature on Ceratopogonidae
Taxonomy and Morphology |
Greetings! I
hope this finds you in good health and still
engaged in studies of the Ceratopogonidae.
Biting midge research continues at a rapid
rate as is evidenced by the 89 publications since May that appear in
the Recent
Literature section. The many reports of
bluetongue in
Lastly, it is with regret that I inform you of the recent deaths of Valentina M. Glukhova and Oswaldo P. Forattini. Most subscribers will know of the significant contributions to our science made by each of these individuals and, like me, may have had the distinct privilege of meeting one or both of them in person.
They will truly be missed.
Please continue to
send me print
or electronic copies of your publications. Volume 81 of this newsletter
will
appear in mid-May, 2008. Send your

Pictorial Atlas of Australasian Culicoides
Wings (Diptera: Ceratopogonidae). Australian
Biological
Resources Study,
Biting midges
such as some Culicoides
species can be a public health or veterinary problem, as vectors of
disease or
as the cause of severe discomfort, especially in coastal areas. This
pictorial
atlas presents 292 wing photographs of 145 described and 120
undescribed
species of Culicoides biting midges from the Australasian
biogeographic
region. For 16 species, photographs of intraspecific pattern variants
are
included, some of them rare in collections. The atlas provides a
species
checklist for Australasian Culicoides and a guide to specific
differences in wing patterns, venation and the distribution and form of
macrotrichia. Morphometric data for described species are tabled to aid
confirmation of the identity of slide-mounted specimens. The practical
application of this Atlas is enhanced by the inclusion of photographs
of the
recognised undescribed species workers may encounter.

Ordering Information: http://www.pensoft.net/newreleases/index.htm
Editors’ Foreword: This book brings together, for the first time, all known information on the 51 genera and 1095 described Neotropical species of biting midges. An overview of the group includes a discussion of bionomics, adaptations of the various life stages, habitats, their ecological roles (including disease transmission), collecting and preparation techniques, zoogeography and classification. A key to adults (including males) provides the first key to all the genera of this region. Limited keys to eggs and larvae are presented. Keys are written in both English and Spanish. A table of all previous descriptions of immatures and a catalog of all Neotropical species is included. This book will be of interest to systematists, ecologists, medical entomologists and students wishing to undertake innovative research in a remarkably interesting and instructive group of insects.

Can someone please
point me in the
direction of a source/reference where I might find information on
habitat and
life
cycle of biting midges of the coasts of Tanzania and its islands...we
would like to develop a "friendly" way of interrupting
life cycles
and controlling or eradicating them.
Many thanks for any help,

I regret to inform you of the death of Professor
Valentina Matveevna
Glukhova. She died on
| Dr. V.M. Glukhova in her
office at the Zoological Institute in 1994 (photo by Steve Murphree) |
Dr. V.M. Glukhova has been recognized as one of the leading experts on the Ceratopogonidae since the 1970s. Outside of Russia she is best known as the author of two fundamental monographs, “Larvae of biting midges of the subfamilies Palpomyiinae and Ceratopogoninae of the USSR fauna” (1979) and “Bloodsucking midges of the genera Culicoides and Forcipomyia (Ceratopogonidae)” in the series “Fauna of the USSR” (1989). The first book became a very important reference for studies of ceratopogonid immatures and was also the first modern guide to their morphology and bionomics. Dr. Glukhova worked out the system of diagnostic characters for ceratopogonid larvae, which was based on her examination of a huge collection of material she obtained during 25 years of laborious work on rearing adults from larvae. The second book (1989) remains the most important review of the taxonomy, ecology and distribution of the Palaearctic blood-sucking Ceratopogonidae.
Valentina was a creative researcher, with very broad scientific interests. In particular, she investigated the ecology and behavior of adult Ceratopogonidae and the comparative morphology and adaptations of the mouthparts and sensillae of biting midges. Dr. Glukhova was the first to study gonotrophic relationships and autogeny in Ceratopogonidae. Some of her works were devoted to the evolution of Ceratopogonidae and to the origin of blood-sucking in the Diptera. She also contributed a lot to the taxonomy and the diagnostics characters of biting midges, especially species in the genus Culicoides.
At the same time, Dr. Glukhova gave a lot of time and attention to her colleagues. During 30 years, many ceratopogonid specialists visited our institute to receive Valentina’s consultations and advice, as well as to work with her collection. Dr. Glukhova supervised five Ph.D. theses, but actually the number of her students was several times higher, because she frequently taught and consulted with many other young colleagues. She was very honest and aboveboard, both in her work and in her life, and very kind.
We had planned to celebrate Valentina’s 80th birthday in the spring of 2008. In particular, we planned to dedicate a number of the Russian Entomological Journal to honor her on her birthday, and to include in this issue the invited papers by close colleagues and students of Dr. Glukhova. Hopefully, this issue will be published in her memory in the first half of 2008. The prospective contents of the issue are given below followed by a list of Dr. Glukhova’s many works that concern Ceratopogonidae.

I will be retiring from
teaching at
the end of June 2008, and after we sell our house, I plan to relocate
to
Gainesville, Florida where I will hopefully continue with research on
biting
midges for as long as possible as a Research Associate with the Florida
State
Collection of Arthropods. In fact, I will occupy the same work
space as
our dear, departed colleague, Bill Wirth
did for almost
10 years after he retired from the Systematic Entomology Laboratory,
USDA in
1984. Before this occurs, I need to "downsize" some of the
literature I've acquired over the past 30+ years. Specifically, I
would
like to offer all of the articles in my files on Bluetongue and others
on
disease transmission by ceratopogonids. Therefore, I would be
glad to
send all/some of it to the first people to reply via email: wlgrogan@salisbury.edu
Regards to all,

Forcipomyia
(Pterobosca) paludis (Macfie): a parasite on wings of Odonata
In May 2007 we finished a study on the feeding action of
the females
which was published at the end of 2007 in an odonatological journal
(http://ijo.tu-bs.de/home.html)
Wildermuth, H. & A. Martens
2007. The feeding action of Forcipomyia paludis (Diptera: Ceratopogonidae),
a parasite of Odonata imagines.
International Journal of Odonatology 10:249-255, pl.IV.
Abstract:
Females
of Forcipomyia paludis were studied
microscopically during their feeding action on Odonata wings where they
were
mostly attached to main veins in the basal half of the wings. In some
individuals rhythmic nodding of the head was noted. Conspicuously many
midges
lifted the abdominal tip every one or two minutes and from the anus
fast
growing air bubbles appeared that burst after about half a second. We
suppose
that the insects, having punctured the host's veins with their stout
proboscis,
sucked much air (as well as haemolymph) from the tracheae which they
had to get
rid of afterwards. From these observations, combined with further
indications,
it is inferred that F. paludis acts
as a true parasite of Odonata and that the association is not only
phoretic as
previously assumed.
