Finally obtained a copy of Sabrosky's 1941 paper. This fly keys to Hippelates proboscideus Williston, 1896. Range is SE USA and Neotropical. It is placed in the plebejus group by Sabrosky so I assume that would make this Hippelates rather than Apallates? Edited by bradbarnd on 25-03-2012 02:03 |

I think the length of the spur also would indicate Hippelates. The description of Apallates mentions it being as long as the tibial diameter or shorter.
