About Campsicnemus maukele
Campsicnemus maukele was described from a male collected by fogging mossy logs and trunks near the Waiʻaleʻale summit, in the Wainiha headwaters.
Natural history and identification
Campsicnemus maukele was described from a male collected by fogging mossy logs and trunks near the Waiʻaleʻale summit, in the Wainiha headwaters. The described body length is 1.80 mm. Its middle-tibial setae and thoracic coloration distinguish it from C. lipothrix. The female was unknown in the original treatment. This is a forest-surface collection record; it should not be converted into a claim that its larvae are aquatic simply because the broader fly family contains stream-associated species.
Kauaʻi occurrence and evidence
Atlas occurrence category: Present. 2007 revision adds Campsicnemus maukele to the Kauaʻi-endemic Campsicnemus radiation.
