Abstract

Abstract A new species of frog-biting midge in the genus Corethrella Coquillett from Death Valley National Park, California, United States of America, is described, based on a single female. The species belongs to the rotunda species group, which are otherwise known to have hyporheic larvae. The species is placed phylogenetically within the group, and a modified portion of a Nearctic key is presented. The rotunda species group now contains 13 species, three of which are in the Nearctic, and the remaining 10 of which are in the Neotropical region.
