About Procanace quadrisetosa
Procanace quadrisetosa is a Kauaʻi member of the dark nigroviridis species complex.
Natural history and identification
Procanace quadrisetosa is a Kauaʻi member of the dark nigroviridis species complex. The female key identifies it by a relatively narrow eighth abdominal tergite with four long bristles along its rear edge. The reviewed material includes wet-rock collections at Waipoʻo Falls. That combination of locality and diagnostic anatomy is stronger evidence than a generic identification as a shore fly; its immature stages remain insufficiently documented in the reviewed account.
