[An analysis of the morphometric traits of the pupae of 3 populations of Testisimulium kondici (Diptera: Simuliidae)].

In the pupae of three populations of Testisimulium kondici (Bar.) the variations of nine quantitative characters are determined. The discrepancies between these populations are analyzed.

[Simulium kachvorjanae sp. n. (Diptera: Simuliidae) from the forest-steppe zone of Ukraine].

Female, male, larva and pupa of Simulium kachvorjanae sp. n. belonging to the group morsitans are described.

[The fat body of prepupal and pupal blackflies and its utilization by the female during its life cycle].

The study performed revealed lipids, proteins and carbohydrates in the content of trophocytes which formed greater assemblies (lipid-protein-glycogen complexes, lipid-protein and protein-glycogen granules). The prepupal stage off stream Simulium noelleri was featured by neutral lipids and granules consisting of protein and glycogen. Mature pupae and emerged females had acid lipids and lipid-protein-glycogen complexes.

[A new species of blackflies--Simulium (Argentisimulium) dolini sp. n. (Diptera, Simuliidae)].

Female, male and larva of the new species of black flies, Simulium (Argentisimulium) dolini sp. n. are described.
