Abstract
- New taxa and previously unavailable life stages of known species of Diptera: Blephariceridae from New Caledonia are described. Curupirina comosipes sp. n. differs distinctly from the three named species in the genus. However, separating larvae of the other species was not possible. Descriptions of the male and first instar larva of Nesocurupira curtirostris Stuckenberg are added. All life stages of Stuckenbergina hystrix gen. et sp. n. are described. A single larva of it had in the past been reported as possible Paltostomatinae (today classified as a tribe, Paltostomatini). However, all New Caledonian net-winged midges belong to Apistomyiini. All are endemic, and three of them even of restricted distribution on the main island.
