based upon the Rawlings key (1996), and wing patterns in "Culicoides.net", the species seems to be Culicoides punctatus Mg., which is known also in Turkey. Confirmation will be muh appreciated. Muhabbet Ref. 1- Rawlings,P.,1996, A key based on wing patterns... Graellsia 52: 57-71 [accessable in the internet] 2- Culicoides.net. http://www.culicoides.net/species_data/punctatus In newly added picture, two Culicoides spp. are sympatric. C. punctatus (?) is identified by the patterns marked with red lines. Cesa attached the following image:  [66.09Kb] Edited by Cesa on 06-10-2012 21:58 |

I'd agree with punctatus, though I'm not certain which other similar species might be present in Turkey
