Forcipomyia (Thyridomyia) tenuichela Dow and Wirth

Description

Forcipomyia (Thyridomyia) tenuichela Dow and Wirth

Forcipomyia (Thyridomyia) tenuichela Dow and Wirth, 1972: 191 (California); Wilkening et al. 1985: 517 (Florida records); Borkent and Grogan 2009: 10 (in Nearctic catalog; distribution).

Discussion. As mentioned above in the discussion section of F. (T.) johannseni, one of the males from Vero Beach, St. Lucie Co., Florida identified by Wirth (in Dow and Wirth 1972) as that species, is actually a specimen of F. (T.) tenuichela. Wilkening et al. (1985) recorded F. tenuichela from Dade, Indian River, Monroe and St. Lucie counties. We provide additional records from Monroe and St. Lucie counties.

New records. Monroe Co., Key Largo, Burton Street, 6 May 2008, D. DeMay, CO 2 baited ABC trap, 1 female; Upper Matecumbe Key, 19 December 2006, D.
