Dolichopus comptus Van Duzee, 1921: 160 View in CoL

Potential infected species: Dolichopus hastatus Loew, 1864b: 59 .

Dolichopus comptus was described from one male collected near Lake Tahoe, California, USA. Van Duzee noted that this species is very similar to D. hastatus but differs in having a much shorter hypopygium with very much smaller cerci, a less enlarged lamella on the arista, and a less sinuous posterior margin of the wing. Illustrations of the arista ( Van Duzee et al. 1921, figs 109a, b) suggest that the D. comptus arista could be a demasculinized form of the arista of D. hastatus .
