چکیده
A comparative study of the female cibarial armature of New World CuZex, subgenera Mehnoconion, Aedinus, Anoed-Coporpa, BeZkinomyia, Car~oZZia, Micraedes and TinoZestes has been made. In addition, the female cibarial armature of species representing other New World taxa, including subgenera CUZex, Lutzia and Neocuzex and genera Gakhdomyia and Deinocerites was also examined for comparative purposes. The results of this study have shown that the cibarial armature is valuable as a group and subgeneric character and may also provide an excellent diagnostic feature for separating the females of certain species in MeZanoconion and MicrocuZex. The phylogenetic importance of the cibarial armature is discussed.
