About Brachydeutera ibari
Brachydeutera ibari is the name used in the historical Hawaiian aquatic inventories.
Natural history and identification
Brachydeutera ibari is the name used in the historical Hawaiian aquatic inventories. The first state record cited in the Bishop Museum review came from Becks Cove, Kahoʻolawe, in February 1980. In the reviewed Oʻahu survey, four adults occurred in freshwater at the lower reaches of Nuʻuanu Stream. Those records support freshwater-margin use, but they do not establish a Kauaʻi larval diet or a present-day abundance estimate.
