“…1). The first survey was the "Our Planet Reviewed" or "La Planète revisitée" Guyane 2014-2015 expedition, also known as the Mitaraka 2015 survey, that was conducted in the Parc amazonien de Guyane, French Guiana (Pollet et al 2014;Pascal et al 2015;Touroult et al 2018). This program, cooperatively conducted by the Muséum national d'Histoire naturelle (MNHN) and Pro-Natura International (both in France), aimed at rehabilitating taxonomic research that focuses on the largely neglected components of global biodiversity, specifically invertebrates in aquatic, marine, and terrestrial habitats.…”

“…Between 22.II and 27.III.2015, two teams of about Invertebrates were sampled near the base camp, on the drop zone (an area near the base camp that had been clear cut to allow helicopters to land) and, in particular, along four trails of about 3.5 km each that started from the base camp and led in four different directions. Sampling for invertebrates was most intense during the first survey (22.II-11.III.2015), during which more than 21 different collecting methods were applied and with a total of 401 traps operational within a 1-km 2 perimeter (Touroult et al 2018). This array consisted primarily of blue, yellow and white pan traps (n = 280), Charax butterfly traps (n = 50), SLAMs (n = 32), flight intercept traps (FIT, n = 13) and butterfly banana traps (n = 12).…”

A new species of Thecomyia Perty, 1833, T. diederiki Mortelmans n. sp., is described from French Guiana, with diagnostic characters being the absence of anteromedial setae on the midfemur; an illdefined, tripartite, greyish mesonotal stripe; absence of upper fronto-orbital bristles; completely yellow mid-and hind femora; typical distiphallus bearing two long, curved acrophalli; absence of male anterior gonostyli; and large, triangular posterior gonostyli. All specimens were collected during the Mitaraka (French Guiana) 2015 survey that investigated an array of habitat types; the new species was encountered only in swamp forests. This discovery raises the number of species in this exclusively Neotropical genus to 13. An update of the relevant couplets in the key to Thecomyia in Marinoni et al. (2003) is presented to include the new species. New records of other species of Thecomyia from Costa Rica, French Guiana, and Brazil are given, with first records of Thecomyia lateralis (Walker, 1858) from Costa Rica, and first records of T. diederiki Mortelmans n. sp. and T. longicornis Perty,
