A new species of Dicrotendipes (Diptera: Chironomidae) from Florida.
A new species of Dicrotendipes is described in all life stages from Florida. Adults of this new species are nearly identical to D. modestus (Say) pupae are similar to D. modestus, D. neomodestus (Malloch) and D. tritomus (Kieffer) while the larvae are unique and were keyed by Epler (1992, 1995, 2001) as Dicrotendipes sp. A. The taxonomic status of D. modestus and D. pulsus (Walker) is discussed.
