Description
Summary:Meoneura arctica Ozerov, 1991 Material: CANADA: 1♂, 20.vi.1960, British Columbia, Gahnon Road 6 mil. W Terrace, leg. B. Heming; USA: 1♂, 31.vii.1961, Colorado, Independence Pass, Lake Co., 11.500’, Treeline, leg. J. G. Chillcott. Meoneura arctica can be easily identified by the characteristic shape of the male postabdomen that is figured in Ozerov (1991: 10, Fig. 7). I compared two specimens reported here with the original description and cannot find any reason to assume a new species. The record of Meoneura arctica is surprising because this species has previously only been known from the locus typicus (Russia, Yamal Peninsula) and Sweden (Brake 2011). ... : Published as part of Stuke, Jens-Hermann, 2016, Carnidae (Diptera) in the Canadian National Collection of Insects (Ottawa), with the description of five new species in Zootaxa 4084 (4), DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.4084.4.5, http://zenodo.org/record/1052329 ...
