Olbiogaster sackeni Edwards

Olbiogaster sackeni Edwards 1915: 502 . Type locality: Mexico, Veracruz, Atoyac [Holotype ♂ BMNH =Natural History Museum, London, UK]. Carrera 1941: 194 (reference, key to species); Corrêa 1946: 141 –142; Lane & d´Andretta 1958: 522–523 (redescription, key species, figure male genitalia); Alexander 1965: 190 (catalog of Diptera of America north of Mexico); Papavero 1967: 17.4 (catalogue of Diptera of the Americas south of the United States); Tozoni 1993:1 33–140 (key species of neotropical region, figures male: thorax, abdomen, male genitalia). Peterson 1981: 306 (figures, wing, thorax, apical tarsomere and claw of female); Pruszynski & Hribar 2012: 58 (records Florida).

Olbiogaster sp. Williston 1901: 229. (description of male; figure habitus of male; Mexico).

Distribution. Mexico (Veracruz, Fig. 10 ), USA (Texas, Florida, South Carolina). The type locality, “Atoyac”, is located in the region of the Mountains, in the central part of the state of Veracruz.

Comments. The description of the male provided by Lane and d’Andretta (1958: 522) differs from the original description of Edwards (1915), mainly by the coloration of the legs, in the middle and hind coxae, fore and hind femur. This led Tozoni (1993) to refer to their specimens as “ O. sackeni Edwards of Lane & d’Andretta”. The key to species of the genus from Mexico above is based in the description of Edwards (1915).
