Discussion.
This very small Neotropical predaceous midge was originally described by
Lane and Forattini (1958)
from
Panama
. Subsequently,
Clastrier (1991)
redescribed and illustrated the female from specimens collected on
Dominica
, and we compared our
Guadeloupe
specimens with specimens from that island. We provide the first records of this predaceous midge from
Guadeloupe
.
