The biting midges, known in the US as "no-see-ums" or "punkies," are tiny blood-sucking flies that live all over the world.

The monograph includes the description of a new species, Protoculicoides revelatus, and some nice specimen photos and illustrations:



The go-to reference if you ever get a hankering to draw or sculpt a punkie!
