Mastoptera species (minuta complex) Specimens ol the minuta complex from vari- ous hosts exhibit differences, often slight and overlapping, in the length and number of setae on various structures, in body measurements, and sometimes in the curvature of the male post- gonites. However, the series presently available from some of the host species arc not adequate for moiphometric analysis of the entire complex. Body measurements of specimens of minuta from PhtjUostomus hastatus and P. elongatus that were taken in north central, eastern, and southern Venezuela clearly indicate that this population is distinct from any of those on spe- cies of Tonatia. I prefer not to name it at this time. However, if it is a distinct species, this explains the puzzling geographic and host dis- tribution of the species of Mastoptera referred to by Wcnzel et al. (op. cit., p. 518). It sliould be noted tliat a single specimen of this entits was taken from P. hastatus in Yaracuy (El Central), 11 km NW of Urama, where all other specimens taken from that host were M. guimaraesi. Dis- tributional data for the species of Strebla that were taken from P. hastatus—as well as for spe- cies of Noctiliostrehia, Paradt/schiria. and some other streblids—indicate that this is an area in which some parasite species that are characteris-.
