Dasyhelea grisea (Coquillett) View in CoL

Ceratopogon griseus Coquillett, 1901: 602 View in CoL (Washington, D.C.). Culicoides griseus: Kieffer 1906: 54 (combination). Dasyhelea grisea: Thomsen 1935: 283 View in CoL (combination); Waugh and Wirth 1976: 228 (revision of eastern

U.S. Dasyhelea View in CoL ; distribution); Wilkening et al. 1985: 518 (Florida records); Borkent and Grogan

2009: 11 (in Nearctic catalog; distribution).

Discussion. Wilkening et al. (1985) listed this very common Nearctic species from 13 Florida counties including Monroe Co. Thomsen (1937) and Waugh and Wirth (1976) noted that this species has been reared from algae in freshwater ponds. Hribar and Grogan (2005) provided the first records of this species from Long and Vaca Keys, Monroe Co. Our additional record from this county is a female from Long Key that was reared from a pupa collected from sea purslane, which is apparently a new larval habitat for this species.

New records. Monroe Co., Long Key, 1-XI-2007, L. Hribar, ex. strand of sea purslane, 1 female with pupal exuviae (FLKC).
