Trichoclinocera (Diptera: Empididae): a new aquatic dance fly record for Missouri

Abstract

We report first record of the occurrence of the aquatic empidid genus Trichoclinocera Collin in Missouri based upon aquatic macroinvertebrate samples collected during March 2016 from two riffles in East Fork of the Black River in Reynolds County in the Ozark Highlands. Substrate characteristics and notes on habitat from where larval specimens of Trichoclinocera were collected are also provided.
