armillata (Melander & Spuler) Sepsis armillata Melander & Spuler, 1917: 18. Palaeosepsis armillata: Peck et al. 1998: 228 [introduced species]; Causton et al. 2006: 134 [introduced species]. Microsepsis armillata: Sinclair 2009: 112 [introduced species]. Distribution. Introduced. Nearctic, Neotropical; Galápagos: Floreana (ICCDRS), Isabela, San Cristóbal (ICCDRS), Santa Cruz. Remarks. The first record of this family from the Galápagos dates from 1996, collected at the base of Sierra Negra, where it was absent during a collecting expedition in 1989. In 2001, adults of this species were very abundant around inhabited and agricultural zones of Santa Cruz, especially on dung., Published as part of Sinclair, Bradley J., 2023, An annotated checklist of the Diptera of the Galápagos Archipelago (Ecuador), pp. 1-102 in Zootaxa 5283 (1) on page 49, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.5283.1.1, http://zenodo.org/record/7912667, {"references":["Melander, A.
