Borkent (2012) recognized 44 Neotropical species of Culicoides Latreille in the subgenus Hoffmania Fox. Of these, 33 belong to the C. guttatus species group and 11 to the C. hylas species group. One species in the latter group, Culicoides baniwa Felippe-Bauer, was recently described based on a female specimen collected in São Gabriel da Cachoeira, Amazonas, Brazil (Felippe-Bauer et al., 2009). The authors also include a key and a synopsis of the species of this group, which includes seven species inhabiting the Brazilian Amazon Region. The purpose of this paper is to describe and illustrate the previously unknown male of C. baniwa Felippe-Bauer based on specimens collected with a CDC light trap at the type locality and in Peruvian Amazon. For ease of comparison, the diagnosis of the female is also included. Material and Methods. The males described herein were collected in Brazilian and Peruvian Amazon Area, slidemounted in Canada Balsam in the manner described by Wirth & Marston (1968) and housed in the Entomological Collection of Instituto de Pesquisas da Amazônia (INPA), and the Museo de La Plata, Argentina (MLP), respectively. A detailed description of the female of C. baniwa may be found in Felippe-Bauer et al. (2009). Terms for structures follow the Manual of Central America Diptera (Brown et al., 2009).
