Description
Summary:Dolichopus bolsteri Van Duzee, 1921: 249 Potential infected species: unknown. Dolichopus bolsteri was described from one male collected at Little River, Newfoundland, Canada. The male is described having a wide face and rather short postabdomen with small cerci. Photos of the holotype male (MCZ, https://mczbase.mcz.harvard.edu/guid/ MCZ:Ent:7615) show clear signs of demasculinization: the hypopygium is characteristically small and poorly rotated (and in one photo can be seen projecting out to one side of abdomen).
