New North American Simuliidae of the Genus Cnephia Enderlein (Diptera)1

Open publisher page 3 citations

Abstract

Cnephiavillosa(Wyoming and Utah), C. freytagi (Wyoming), and C. jeanae (Utah and Wyoming) are described and figured. These species, with three other Nearctic species and a number of Palaearctic species, constitute a group distinct from subgenus Cnephia and fall within subgenus Astega Enderlein as recognized by Shewell. It is probable that the latter name is incorrectly employed in current usage.
