Forcipomyia (Thyridomyia) tenuichela Dow and Wirth View in CoL

Forcipomyia (Thyridomyia) tenuichela Dow and Wirth, 1972: 191 (California) View in CoL ; 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.
