Atrichopogon (Lophomyidium) fusculus (Coquillett) View in CoL

Ceratopogon fusculus Coquillett, 1901: 605 View in CoL (Maine, New Jersey, New Hampshire, Washington D. C.).

Atrichopogon fusculus: Ingram and Macfie 1922: 244 View in CoL (combination).

Atrichopogon (Atrichopogon) fusculus: Wirth 1965: 122 View in CoL (in Nearctic catalog; distribution); Wilkening et al. 1985: 514 (Florida records).

Atrichopogon (Lophomyidium) fusculus: Wirth 1994a: 20 View in CoL (revision of Nearctic species in subgenus Lophomyidium Cordero View in CoL ; distribution); Borkent and Grogan 2009: 6 (in Nearctic catalog; distribution).

Discussion. Wilkening et al. (1985) listed this common Holarctic species in Florida from only Alachua and Hillsborough counties. Subsequently, Wirth (1994a) revised the subgenus Lophomyidium in the Nearctic region and demonstrated that A. (L.) fusculus is a complex composed of five species. Of the four new species that Wirth described and illustrated, two of these inhabit Florida, A. archboldi and A. deyrupi , and we provide brief accounts of these species above. Because Wirth’s revision of this complex was published nearly a decade after Wilkening et al. (1985), he also provided additional new records of A. fusculus from the following Florida counties: Gilchrist, Liberty, Orange, Pasco and Pinellas. We provide the first records from Wakulla Co.

New records. Wakulla Co., Wakulla Springs State Park , Lodge Road, 25 May 2004, S. Murphree, CDC light trap with UV wand, 1 male, 1 female ( BUTC) ; same data except swamp on Lodge Rd , 25-26-V-2004, CDC LT, 1 male, 1 female ( WLGC) .
