Drymeia minor (Malloch, 1918) Figs 4H , 7C , 10E , 12C

Pogonomyia minor Malloch, 1918: 280.

Type material examined.

Pogonomyia minor - Holotype male labelled " Top of Las / Vegas Range / VI.28.02 NM"; " HoloTYPE /6201 [red]"; " HoloTYPE / Pogonomyia / MINOR / Mall. [red]" ( ANSP) .

Other material examined.

9 males, 3 females: Nearctic: USA: Colorado: Gunnison, Mt. Evans ( CNC, BUIC) .

Distribution.

Nearctic: Canada (British Columbia, Alberta, Saskatchewan but see remark below); USA (California, Colorado, New Mexico, Oregon, Wyoming) (but see Remarks) .

DNA Barcode.

BOLDBIN: BOLD:ADZ5293. See Suppl. material 1: Table S1 for GenBank accession numbers.

Remarks.

Based on the distribution of examined specimens (including the holotype of D. minor ) as well as on the distribution of all public sequences for BOLD: ADZ5293 ( D. minor ) and BOLD: ACA9214 ( D. hucketti sp. nov.), we suspect that previously published Canadian records of D. minor may actually belong to D. hucketti sp. nov. but additional data will be necessary for confirmation. Only specimens from Colorado ( USA) were available for DNA barcoding (Fig. 25 ) with p-distances ranging from 0.0% to 0.47 %
