Empidadelpha pokekeao (Diptera: Empididae): a new species from New Zealand
2021
Kerr, D Steven | Tweed, James M. H.
Empidadelpha pokekeao sp. nov. (Empididae: Empidinae) is described from male specimens collected in native forest at Sullivan’s Dam, Dunedin, New Zealand and in snow tussock at Macraes Flat, New Zealand. The species is distinguished from other species of Empidadelpha by the colouration of the body and legs, the remarkable length of the male antenna, and the distinctively darkened wings with a large dark cloud anteroapically. The two only other New Zealand species of this genus, E. propria Collin, 1928 and E. torrentalis Miller, 1923, were also examined and are discussed here.
