Ceratopogonidae. The long front claws are found only in predatory groups, all of which are in subfamily Ceratopogoninae. Some believe that Ceratopogoninae are not monophyletic. |

Compare Fossihelea gracilitarsis (Meunier, 1904) and Stilobezzia. You may be able to distinguish them with Szadziewski, Ryszard. 1988. Biting midges (Diptera, Ceratopogonidae) from Baltic Amber. Polskie pismo entomologiczne, 58(1): 3-283 Both genera are in tribe Ceratopogonini; Stilobezzini was synonymized after the paper was published. Edited by John Carr on 10-10-2016 15:50 |
