Seven new species of Monohelea Kieffer are described and illustrated and new records from M. affinis Felippe-Bauer & Spinelli, M. guaimiesi Lane & Wirth and M. maculipennis (Coquillett) are given based on specimens collected in Pará State, eastern Brazilian Amazon. The new species are compared with their similar congeners and the distributional records of both new and previously described species are presented in Figure 1. A key for identification of the Brazilian Amazonian species of Monohelea is also provided.

Synanthropy and community structure of Ceratopogonidae in temperate Argentina were compared across an urbanization gradient to assess the impact of urbanization on species diversity and abundance. Adult ceratopogonids were collected from one natural, one Peri-urban, and two urban sites monthly for 12 months using CDC light traps. Nine-hundred one individuals belonging to nine genera and 59 species were collected.
