New morphological information on Simulium cerradense adults and new records of black fly species (Diptera: Simuliidae) in the western region of Bahia state, Brazil

This dataset contains the digitized treatments in Plazi based on the original journal article Hamada, Neusa, Luz, Sérgio Luiz Bessa, Coscarón, Sixto (2004): New morphological information on Simulium cerradense adults and new records of black fly species (Diptera: Simuliidae) in the western region of Bahia state, Brazil. Zootaxa 693 (1): 1-8, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.693.1.1, URL: biotaxa.org/Zootaxa/article/view/zootaxa.693.1.1 ABSTRACT S. cerradense Coscarón, Cerqueira, Sato & La Salvia (1992) was described based on pharate females and males, and pupae and larvae.

Reared adults from the type locality region have different color patterns than those in the original description. The objectives of the present study are to redescribe the scutal color pattern of S. cerradense adults and to provide a list of black fly species collected in streams in the western region of Bahia state, where this fauna is poorly known.
