First records of Condylostylus depressus (Aldrich, 1901) and Condylostylus electus (Walker, 1852) (Diptera, Dolichopodidae) in coconut plantations in state of Pará, Brazil

First records of Condylostylus depressus (Aldrich, 1901) and Condylostylus electus (Walker, 1852) (Diptera, Dolichopodidae) in coconut plantations in state of Pará, Brazil

We record for the first time two species of Condylostylus Bigot, 1859 from Pará state, Brazil. Condylostylus depressus (Aldrich, 1901) and C. electus (Walker, 1852) were found on commercial crops of Cocos nucifera L., thus pointing to a possible value for biological control. In addition, we provide...

Description
Summary:We record for the first time two species of Condylostylus Bigot, 1859 from Pará state, Brazil. Condylostylus depressus (Aldrich, 1901) and C. electus (Walker, 1852) were found on commercial crops of Cocos nucifera L., thus pointing to a possible value for biological control. In addition, we provide diagnoses and distributional maps for both species in Brazil.
