Clinohelea bimaculata (Loew)

Ceratopogon bimaculata Loew, 1861: 311 (Washington D. C.).

Johannseniella bimaculata: Malloch 1914b: 227 (combination).

Johannsenomyia bimaculata: Malloch 1915a: 333 (combination).

C linohelea bimaculata: Kieffer 1917: 317 (combination); Grogan and Wirth 1975a: 281 (revision of Nearctic Clinohelea Kieffer ; distribution); Borkent and Grogan 2009: 23 (in Nearctic catalog; distribution).

Discussion. In their revision of the Nearctic species of Clinohelea, Grogan and Wirth (1975a) provided records of this very common species from 24 Florida counties including Wakulla Co. Subsequently, Wilkening et al. (1985) also listed this species from Columbia and Levy counties. We provide an additional record from Wakulla Co. In addition, Porch et al. (1992) recorded a specimen taken from a sundew in Santa Rosa Co., the first record from that county that we list below.

New records. Santa Rosa Co., 17 June 1987, S. S. Porch, ex. Drosera sp. , 1 female. Wakulla Co., Wakulla Springs State Park, Lodge Road, 25 May 2004, S. Murphree, CDC light trap with UV wand, 1 female (BUTC).
