Forcipomyia (Euprojoannisia) unica Bystrak and Wirth View in CoL

Forcipomyia (Euprojoannisia) unica Bystrak and Wirth, 1978: 44 View in CoL (revision of North American Euprojoannisia View in CoL ; Florida); Wilkening et al. 1985: 516 (Florida records); Borkent and Grogan 2009: 7 (in Nearctic catalog; distribution).

Discussion. As suggested by its specific name, this species is truly unique in that it is the only New World species in the subgenus Euprojoannisia that has a single spermatheca. The type series included specimens from the Bahamas and Alachua (Holotype, Allotype), Dade, Orange, Putnam and Sarasota counties in Florida. Swanson and Grogan (2008) recently recorded a single female from South Carolina. We provide the first records from Monroe Co.

New records. Monroe Co., Long Point Key , 25 Oct. 2006, D. DeMay, light trap, 1 female ; Windley Key , 22 Sept. 2008, D. DeMay, light trap, 1 female ; same data except 17 Nov. 2008, D. DeMay, CO 2 baited light trap, 1 female ( FSCA; FLKC) .
