Revisão taxonômica de Caenobrunettia Wagner (Diptera: Psychodidae) no Brasil

Abstract

Caenobrunettia Wagner was proposed in 1981, having Caenobrunettia type echinoflagellata Wagner, found in the Brazilian Amazon. As a diagnostic feature, species of the genus have a short ocular bridge, long palps, an antenna of 13-14 fusiform flagellomers carrying long and striated asóides, and encircle with a tencula at the apex. This genus is a diverse group in Brazil and with very interesting taxonomic issues. The objective of this work was to review the taxonomy of the genus Caenobrunettia (Diptera: Psychodidae: Psychodinae) in Brazil and to update the distribution of the species. Samples were analyzed from three locations: Presidente Figueiredo, Caracaraí, Serra da Mocidade and Jaú National Park; being the only one that was found copies of Caenobrunettia. Also studied were specimens preserved on permanent slides given by the Entomological Collection of the State University of Feira de Santana (MZFS), Feira de Santana - Bahia, corresponding to Bahia and by the Collection of the Museum of Natural History of the County of Los Angeles (LACM). A total of 57 specimens were analyzed to open the total of 10 species, two new descriptions.
