Remarks.
Female
Da.
deleoni
cannot be separate from females of
Da. vescifera
and
Da. zeledoni
, both species recorded in Central
America
, but not known in
Mexico
. Records of series
deleoni
species must be confirmed correlating the males because the three species usually are sympatric. Females of this species are not anthropophilous, and may be feed on the blood of bats or rodents.
