Micromidia rodericki Fraser, 1959

Larva not available.

*Genus Micromidia Fraser 1959

The island distribution (Thursday Island, Torres Strait) will most probably confirm the identification of the larva of M. rodericki once available ( Theischinger 2001a).

Distributional support is not needed to distinguish the larvae of the other two species. It appears that M. atrifrons is not present in southern inland Queensland, whereas there are no records of M. convergens from north-eastern Queensland ( Theischinger & Endersby 2009).

Geographical range or part of is only given if it markedly effects the reliability of identification. Full geographical ranges are written in bold; part of the range for which reliable identification is written in normal subsequent to P:.

Some species are, within their genus, not listed in alphabetical order to better show morphological or geographical mutualities by the symbol + in cells ‘merged’ down the subcolumns M and G of column IDR.

Reasonably reliable identifications can be achieved at least for part of their ranges for 235 of the 325 species if the individuals to be identified are in good shape and close to final instar, and if their origin is known. Of these 215 are marked in column IDR by the symbol *, the remaining 20 by the symbol /. Identifications for 90 of the 325 species are at present hardly possible and therefore not marked with any symbol in the column IDR. Should larvae be identified as belonging to a species without an icon in the column IDR, it is strongly recommended that the details be thoroughly checked by repeating the identification procedure.
