Description

Forcipomyia (Forcipomyia) quatei Wirth

Forcipomyia quatei Wirth, 1952a: 142 (California).

Forcipomyia (Forcipomyia) quatei: Wirth 1965: 126 (in Nearctic catalog); Wilkening et al. 1985: 516 (Florida records); Borkent and Grogan 2009: 7 (in Nearctic catalog; distribution).

Discussion. Wilkening et al. (1985) recorded this wide ranging New World species from 12 counties in Florida. We discovered a large series of this species in the FSCA from Indian River, Highlands and St. Lucie counties, which are the first records from these counties.
