European Micropezids & Tanypezids

Countries are thirsty for summarized data and insights for policy-making but we are running short of tools (Martinez, 2023)

Anomalies

Calobatina: Nowhere suggested that this is a member of the Calobatinae, indeed its distribution (see GBIF) and description suggest not. In which case this is an extraordinarily confusing Genus name to choose.

North American distribution

A combination of GBIF downloads (which includes iNaturalist) and locations scanned from the maps in Merritt R.W. & Peterson B. V. 1976. A synopsis of the Micropezidae (Diptera) of Canada and Alaska, with descriptions of four new species. Can. J. Zool. 54: 1488–1506.
