About Eurynogaster mediocris
Eurynogaster mediocris is an endemic Hawaiian long-legged fly described by Tenorio in 1969.
Natural history and identification
Eurynogaster mediocris is an endemic Hawaiian long-legged fly described by Tenorio in 1969. The Kōkeʻe stream inventory records it in the general aerial collection from Koaiʻe Stream. This places an identified adult in a stream-associated assemblage, but does not demonstrate that the larva lived beneath the water. The account therefore distinguishes its documented adult collecting habitat from an unverified immature-stage ecology.
