Abstract

Examination of two large collections of Ceratopogonidae from Rondonia, Brazil, and Loreto, Peru, resulted in records of 15 species in the tribes Palpomyiini and Stenoxenini, including three previously undescribed: Bezzia schmitzorum Dippolito & Spinelli, Palpomyia pseudolacustris D. & S., and Stenoxenus aductus D. & S. from Rondonia. The hitherto unknown male of Palpomyia versicolor Macfie is described and figured.
