Abstract

During the summer of 1979, Culicoides specimens were separated from the catch of 22 New Jersey light traps in Suffolk County, Long Island, New York. Nineteen of the species identified are new records for the county and 6 for the state. Diagnostic features are given for the adults of the new state species (C. footei, C. hinmani, C. variipennis australis, C. mulrennani, C. nanus and C. snowi) as observed from material collected.
