Genus CULICOIDES 
Latreille, 1809; Kieffer, 1899, 1906 
Oecacta Poey (1851) and Haematomyidium Goeldi (1905) are 
probable synonyms. The type of the genus is C. punctata 
Meigen. . 
It was formerly supposed that all the hairy winged species of the 
Ceratopogoninae had terrestrial larvae, but this is not the case. 
Mik some years ago described a semiaquatic larva from which he 
pred CGUliecGides Mippocastami, ama I Ihene seeeiceal 
several species of Culicoides and also of the subgenus Ceratopogon 
from aquatic larvae which differ but little from those of the bare 
winged members of this subfamily.
