CYTOGENETICS OF THE SIMULIUM VENUSTUMIVERECUNDUM COMPLEX (DIPTERA: SIMULIIDAE) ON THE AVALON PENINSULA, NEWFOUNDLAND
Abstract Results are presented for a 4-year (1986–1989) cytological survey of the Simulium venustum / verecundum complex on the Avalon Peninsula, Newfoundland, Canada. Based on 4578 larval identifications from 72 sites, six species in the S . venustum / verecundum complex were found: S . truncatum L...
