Observation was made on severe harm seemingly caused by Culicoides in Terao, the suburbs of Niigata, at the end of May 1961. Collected Culicoides were 6 species, of which C. epactius was dominant (56.5%). Examination of specimens collected by biting collection and samples brought by the people suggested that the damage was made by C. epactius, C. arakawae, and C. circumscriptus. Harm was found to be severer at the hill, residental area, and fields, particularly in the fine, calm evening of summer. Bited lesions were naked sites of the human body and in some cases other parts covered with hair and dress. In 36 cases, just after biting, sharp itching occurred and was followed by the growth of reddish eruption with fever, around which infiltration was noticed. In most cases, symptoms disappeared several hours to four days after the attack of the insects, whereas scraping the surface of the lesions resulted in forming blister or suppuration to be coured sometimes more than a month later.
