Discussion. In their review of Florida ceratopogonids, Wilkening et al. (1985) listed B. expolita, but, they noted that Florida records were not available for this species, and a study in progress by WLG confirms this. Therefore, we are deleting this species from the Florida ceratopogonid fauna. However, specimens collected by WLG and others in the USNM in the B. expolita complex include several undescribed species that will be addressed by a study in progress by WLG.
