Galápagos: Bartolomé, Española, Floreana, Genovesa, Isabela, Marchena, Pinta, San Cristóbal , Santa Cruz, Santa Fé. Remarks. Adults of this species were collected from littoral to agricultural zones on several islands, and have been reared from decaying vegetation. Specimens identified by Johnson (1924) as “ L. pusio ” may also be this species, but the material upon which this record was based has not been examined ( Wheeler & Forrest 2003 ). Johnson (1924) also reported that flies of this species were attracted to small skin abrasions.
