Genus Efferia Coquillett, 1893 View in CoL
REMARK
The genus is new to French Guiana.
Tomasovic (2002a) mentioned Efferia demifasciata ( Macquart, 1850) and Efferia fuscanipennis ( Macquart, 1850) as occurring in French Guiana. However, currently these species are allocated in Triorla Parks, 1968 and Nerax Hull, 1962 , respectively (Papavero 2009). Thus, the two Efferia morphospecies collected at Mitaraka represent the first record of the genus from French Guiana (material examined: Efferia sp. 1 [ Fig. 4K View FIG ]: 1 ♂, 1♀, Mitaraka/008, MNHN; 1 ♂, Mitaraka/100, INPA; 1 ♂, Mitaraka/115, INPA; Efferia sp. 2 [ Fig. 4L View FIG ]: 1 ♂, Mitaraka/007, MNHN).
