Peromyia aeratipennis
(
SKUSE
, 1888)
Peromyia aeratipennis
[=
Peromyia muscorum
] is found across the Palaearctic Region, throughout the Japanese achipelago including Ryukyu and Bonin Islands, in
New Zealand
(
JASCHHOF & JASCHHOF 2004
) and, as shown here, in Tasmania. A redescription of this common species was given by
JASCHHOF (1998)
.
Peromyia aeratipennisaeratipennis
belongs to the
Peromyia impexa
[formerly
Peromyia palustris
]] group of species as defined by
JASCHHOF (1998)
and reviewed subsequently (
JASCHHOF 2001b
,
JASCHHOF & JASCHHOF 2004
,
2009
). Among the
PeromyiaPeromyia
specimens I have seen from Tasmania are several that belong to one or two new species close to
P. aeratipennis
, but the available specimens are insufficient for description.
