Published: January 2021

The predaceous midges (Diptera: Ceratopogonidae; tribe Ceratopogonini) in the genera Schizonyxhelea Clastrier Stilobezzia Kieffer in Mexico were recently addressed by Huerta Grogan (2017) who described one new species in each of these genera. A re-examination of specimens in the Colección de Artrópodos con Importancia Medica (CAIM), from the states of Morelos and Yucatan, revealed an undescribed species that was previously identified as Stilobezzia (Stilobezzia) femoralis Lane Forattini from Yucatan by Huerta (2002) and Huerta Grogan (2017). Herein, we describe and illustrate this species from the states of Morelos Yucatan, Mexico, as Stilobezzia (Stilobezzia) tobiasi Huerta Grogan n. sp.

A prospective longitudinal cohort of individuals at high risk of developing lung cancer was established to build a biorepository of carefully annotated biological specimens and low-dose computed tomography (LDCT) chest images for derivation and validation of candidate biomarkers for early detection of lung cancer. The goal of this study is to characterize individuals with high risk for lung cancer, accumulating valuable biospecimens and LDCT chest scans longitudinally over 5 years. Participants 55-80 years of age with a 5-year estimated risk of developing lung cancer >1.
