  • Title: First Record of Forcipomyia (Lasiohelea) Kieffer (Diptera: Ceratopogonidae) in Uruguay.
    Author: Canneva B.
    Journal: Neotrop Entomol; 2023 Feb; 52(1):114-116. PubMed ID: 36459344.
    Abstract:
    During an insect surveillance in the Santa Lucía Wetlands, Montevideo, it was captured three specimens of Forcipomyia (Lasiohelea) stylifera (Lutz), being the first record for this subgenus from Uruguay. Lasiohelea comprise species of veterinary and medical concern, due to the hematophagous feeding nature of adult females, which cause diverse degrees of nuisance on humans and animals. In the last decade, suspicion was raised involving this taxon in the transmission of Leishmania parasites, but there is still no conclusive evidence.
