Bezzia perplexa
Bezzia perplexa is a species of biting midge in the family Ceratopogonidae, described by Dow and Turner in 1976. The genus Bezzia comprises non-blood-feeding ceratopogonids whose larvae develop in aquatic or semi-aquatic habitats. As a member of the Palpomyiini tribe, this species shares characteristics with other predatory or detritivorous biting midges. Published records for this species are limited.
Bezzia varicolor
biting midge
Bezzia varicolor is a species of biting midge in the family Ceratopogonidae, first described by Coquillett in 1902. The species has been the subject of morphological study focusing on female-specific abdominal structures. Females possess distinctive eversible sacs attached to internal dorsal apodemes of the tergites. The function of these structures remains unresolved, though glandular activity has been ruled out by histological examination.
Phaenobezzia opaca
Phaenobezzia opaca is a species of biting midge in the family Ceratopogonidae, first described by Loew in 1861. It belongs to the tribe Palpomyiini within the subfamily Ceratopogoninae. The genus Phaenobezzia comprises biting midges that are generally predatory or hematophagous as adults. Specific biological details for P. opaca remain poorly documented in available literature.
