| 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 |
