Bradysia gibbosa Vilkamaa, Hippa & Mohrig, 2012 View in CoL
Material examined. NEW CALEDONIA: Province South, Mt. Koghis, 17 km NNE of Noumeá, 13.XII.– 20.XII.1998, leg. N.J. Mary & M.E. Irwin (1♂, MNHN; 4♂, SDEI; 1♂, CSCA).
Remarks. Our examined material showed some differences compared to the original description. The gonostylus of all 6 specimens bear 4 subapical spines and not 3 as indicated by Vilkamaa et al. (2012c). Also the pedicel is lighter than the remainder of antenna, instead of the antenna being uniformly coloured and the claws are armed with fine teeth. But due to the shape of the gonostylus and other characters we have no doubt that these specimens belong to B. gibbosa . Bradysia gibbosa does not belong to the B. hilaris group as proposed by Vilkamaa et al. (2012c). Together with B. similigibbosa it represents the new B. gibbosa group (see above).
Distribution. Only known from New Caledonia.
