Description

Stilobezzia (Stilobezzia) diminuta Lane and Forattini

Stilobezzia diminuta Lane and Forattini, 1958: 209 (Panama); Lane and Forattini 1961: 86 (in key); Clastrier 1991: 308 (Dominica; female; figs.).

Stilobezzia (Stilobezzia) diminuta: Borkent and Spinelli 2000: 54 (in New World catalog south of the USA; distribution); Borkent and Spinelli 2007: 87 (in Neotropical catalog; distribution).

Discussion. This very small Neotropical predaceous midge was originally described by Lane and Forattini (1958) from Panama. Subsequently, Clastrier (1991) redescribed and illustrated the female from specimens collected on Dominica, and we compared our Guadeloupe specimens with specimens from that island. We provide the first records of this predaceous midge from Guadeloupe.

New records. Guadeloupe, Basse Terre, Corrosol, 8-IX-2010, MC Thomas & RH Turnbow, Blacklight trap, 5 males. New Guadeloupe record.
