Five sensillum types are found on the antennae of both species. Both species have sharp-tipped sensilla trichodea and sensilla basiconica only on subsegments 9-13 and blunt-tipped sensilla trichodea on all subsegments. Sensilla coeloconica occur on subsegment 1 of both species and various other subsegments depending on the species. Sensilla chaetica are found on all subsegments of C. melleus, but only on subsegments 1-8 and 13 on C. hollensis. Both sexes of C. hollensis have either 1 or 2 pits on the 3rd segment of the maxillary palps, which contain 8-15 bulb-shaped sensilla in females compared with 5-6 in males. No pit is found on the maxillary palps of either sex of C. melleus, but rather the bulb-shaped sensilla are distributed individually on this segment, ranging from 13 to 29 on the female and 6-10 on the male palps. These data are compared with data obtained from previously published light and electron microscopical studies of biting midge sensory structures.}, number={4}, journal={JOURNAL OF MEDICAL ENTOMOLOGY}, author={Kline, DL and Axtell, RC}, year={1999}, month={Jul}, pages={493–502} } @article{kline_axtell_1977, title={DISTRIBUTION OF CULICOIDES-HOLLENSIS, CULICOIDES-FURENS AND CULICOIDES-BERMUDENSIS IN RELATION TO PLANT COVER IN NORTH-CAROLINA SALT-MARSH (DIPTERA-CERATOPOGONIDAE)}, volume={13}, ISSN={["0022-2585"]}, DOI={10.1093/jmedent/13.4-5.545}, abstractNote={The distribution of Culicoides (Diptera: Ceratopogonidae) in relation to plant cover in a North Carolina salt marsh was determined by sticky cylinder traps, emergence traps and soil sampling. All 3 methods showed essentially the same distribution pattern for C. hollensis (Melander & Brues) and C. furens (Poey) although the former was most abundant in tall (> 1.2 m) Spartina alterniflora Loiseleur (smooth cordgrass) and the latter in short (<0.3 m) S. alterniflora . These 2 species were rare in the areas of juncus roemerianus Scheele (black needle rush) and shrubs. C. bermudensis Williams was not caught on sticky traps, but the other methods showed that this species was restricted to areas of Distichlis spicata (L.)
