Acidogona melanura
(Loew)
Distribution.
The following are new records or indicate the basis for some of the distribution points on map 1 of
Foote
et al
. (1993)
or the range listed for this species by
Norrbom
et al
. (1999)
. The records from
Alabama
and
Oklahoma
extended the known distribution of this species considerably westward. Those from
Georgia
and
New York
are the first records from those states. The locality in
Quebec
(the site of Frank McAlpine’s cottage) is north of Ottawa (Jeff Cumming, pers. comm.), not opposite James Bay as indicated on the Foote
et al
. map, thus this species is not known to occur so far to the north as is indicated on the map. The outlying distribution points for
Euaresta bella
(Loew)
(map 14),
Jamesomyia geminata
(Loew)
(map 31), and
Paramyiolia nigricornis
(Doane)
(map 32) are also based on misplotted dots for this locality.
A single very teneral male from
Chihuahua
(AMNH collection), the only specimen of
Acidogona
known from northern
Mexico
, is similar to
A. melanura
, but its identity remains uncertain.
