Dave, Chris, perhaps others,
This is now rather detailed for NatureNS, but I'm forwarding this second reply
from Scott Brooks anyway in case someone wishes to follow it up and/or would
like the references (Dave?). I was primarily interesting in getting the ID,
though I'd also be interested in the degree of habitat specificity -- whether
this is as extreme as it is for its co-resident, the bristletail.
Extending this thought, it could make an interesting school science fair survey
project to map the limited range of organisms present in and around the fresh
water "seeps" on these sea cliff faces, for someone with a
biologically-inclined youngster.

Hi Steve: No problem. Re: Richard Hurley, I was mistaken about the
revision. However, he is the hydrophorine expert and would be a good
person to contact for additional info (rhurley@montana.edu). I guess I
was thinking of a paper by Larry Corpus on the immatures of L. similis.
The reference is: Corpus, L.D. 1986. Immature stages of Liancalus
similus (Diptera: Dolichopodidae). Journal of the Kansas Entomological
Society 59(4): 635-640. The last treatment of Liancalus was by Van Duzee
in 1917, the ref.is: Van Duzee, M.C. 1917. New North American species of
Dolichopodidae (Dip.). Entomological News 28: 123-128, 4 figs.
Cheers,
Scott
