Hilara laureae is a species of dance flies, in the fly family Empididae. The species was first described from Tenerife in the Canary Islands by Theodor Becker,[1] where it is believed to be endemic.[2]
Etymology
The original spelling given by Becker (1908: 42) is "laureae", with the species epithet possibly reflecting where the species was first found in a "laurel grove" (in original german as "im Lorbeerhain").[1] However, subsequently many online sources give the spelling of the species epithet as the later alternative "laurae" without any apparent justification.[3]
