Genus Atomosia Macquart, 1838

REMARK

The genus is new to French Guiana. The Atomosia species mentioned by Tomasovic (2002a) are currently treated as incertae sedis (Papavero 2009). Thus, the two Atomosia morphospecies collected in Mitaraka are considered the first record of the genus from French Guiana (material examined: Atomosia sp.1 [Fig. 4E]: 1 ♂, Mitaraka/191, INPA; 2 ♂, Mitaraka/195, INPA; 1♀, Mitaraka/195, MNHN; 1♂, Mitaraka/218, INPA; 1 ♀, Mitaraka/218, MNHN; 1 ♂, Mitaraka/219, MNHN; 1♂, Mitaraka/223, INPA. Atomosia sp. 2 [Fig. 4F]: 1 ♂, 1♀, Mitaraka/186, INPA, 1♂, Mitaraka/186, MNHN).
