Dasyhelea corinneae Gosseries View in CoL

Ceratopogon scutellata Meigen, 1830: 262 (Europe; preoccupied by Say, 1829).

Dasyhelea scutellata: Kieffer 1919a: 50 (combination); Waugh and Wirth 1976: 236 (revision of eastern United States Dasyhelea View in CoL ; distribution); Wilkening et al. 1985: 519 (Florida records).

Dasyhelea corinneae Gosseries, 1991: 42 View in CoL (new name for C. scutellata Meigen ); Borkent and Grogan 2009: 11 (in Nearctic catalog; distribution).

Discussion. This common Holarctic species inhabits the eastern United States, and Wilkening et al. (1985) only recorded it (as D. scutellata ) in Florida from Liberty Co. and suggested that “Northern Florida apparently represents the southernmost limit of its range in North America.” Porch et al. (1992) recorded several specimens taken from sundews in Santa Rosa and Walton counties, which were the first records from these Florida counties that we relist below.

New records. Santa Rosa Co., Pittman Creek , 19 Oct. 1986, S. S. Porch, ex. Drosera sp. , 2 females ( AUCI). Walton Co., 20 May 1986, 13 Aug. 1986, 4 Sept. 1986, 1 female ( WLGC), 19 Oct. 1986, 1 female, 12 Apr. 1987, 3 females ( AUCI), 19 May 1987 (2 females AUCI; 1 female WLGC), S. S. Porch, ex. Drosera sp .
