Biting Habits 



Lutz (1913) in Brazil took Culicoides reticulatus and insignis on man, 

 horse, and cow; pusillus on man; paraensis on man; and dehilipalpis 

 on man and horse. Painter (1926) found the pestiferous species at 

 Puerto Castilla, Honduras, to be furens and phlebotomus. Adamson 

 (1939) found the following species in Trhiidad to bite man (named in 

 order of their importance) : phlebotomus, diabolicus, guy anensis, furens, 

 and debilipalpis.
