Mallochohelea albibasis

Description

Mallochohelea albibasis (Malloch)

Johansennomyia albibasis Malloch, 1915b: 315 (Illinois).

Mallochohelea albibasis: Wirth 1962: 279 (combination; distribution); Borkent and Grogan 2009: 24 (in Nearctic catalog; distribution).

Discussion. This wide ranging Nearctic species was previously known from the Northwest Territories to Quebec, south to California, Kansas and Alabama (Borkent and Grogan 2009). A female from Jefferson Co. is apparently the first record of this species from Florida.

New records. Jefferson Co., Monticello, W. H. Whitcomb, B. L. Trap, 1 female (FSCA). New Florida state record.
