CULICOIDES GLADYSAE SP. N. (DIPTERA: CERATOPOGONIDAE) FROM EASTERN AUSTRALIA, WITH DESCRIPTIONS OF ITS LARVA AND PUPA AND A RE‐EXAMINATION OF C. MYKYTOWYCZI LEE AND REYE AND C. MOREENSIS LEE AND REYE

The larva, pupa, male and female of Culicoides gladysae sp. n. are described from a series reared from larvae collected from leaf mould in a tree crotch at Mt Glorious, south‐east Queensland. Another series of all stages was collected from a tree cavity holding free water at McCarr's Creek, New South Wales. Detailed comparisons are made between C. gladysae, C. moreensis Lee and Reye and C. mykytowyczi Lee and Reye, and between the two series of C. gladysae. Allometric growth occurs in the palp and head/proboscis, but not in either the antenna or tarsus of C. gladysae.
