Abstract

Four first records of Limoniidae (Diptera: Tipuloidea) from the island of Martinique are presented: Geranomyia subvirescens subvirescens, Dicranomyia (Dicranomyia) clarkeana, Trentepohlia (Paramongoma) inconspicua sp. n., and a Hexatoma species with an uncertain identity. The genera Hexatoma and Trentepohlia are recorded for the first time from the island. A complete updated list of the crane flies of Martinique is provided, as well as images of the newly discovered species and a key to the known species of Trentepohlia recorded from the West Indies.
