Meoneura sinclairi Wheeler, 2000: 116 View in CoL .
Distribution. Endemic. Galápagos: Baltra, Española, Floreana, Genovesa, Marchena, Pinta, San Cristóbal, Santa Cruz, Santa Fé, Seymour, Wolf.
Remarks. Adults of this species were collected on wet rocks and beaches in the littoral zone and on blossoms of palo santo trees. Specimens were collected on a variety of substrates including marine iguana nesting sites and sea lion beaches, indicating that this species is highly salt tolerant ( Wheeler 2000). Several species of Carnidae are known to specialize on excrements and pellets in bird nesting areas and on carrion along shorelines ( Brake 1997).
