About Dicranomyia hawaiiensis
Dicranomyia hawaiiensis belongs to Limoniidae in the order Diptera. Its recorded origin status is endemic hawaiian.
Natural history and identification
Dicranomyia hawaiiensis was included in molecular research on Hawaiian crane flies. The study emphasizes how little is known about the biology of many island species. A phylogenetic relationship or adult collection does not establish the larval food, development time, or abundance of a Kauaʻi population.
Kauaʻi occurrence and evidence
Atlas occurrence category: Present. Hawaiian Dicranomyia phylogeography includes Kauaʻi populations and reconstructs a basal Kauaʻi population for D. hawaiiensis.
