Opportunistic Efferia n. species inventory in the South Okanagan, 2009  2009  Okanagan Efferia has not yet been officially described or named, but is on the Committee on the Status of Endangered Wildlife in Canada's (COSEWIC) Candidate List, where it is referred to as Efferia n. sp. This species is known only from the Okanagan and Thompson valleys, BC, Canada, where it occurs in bluebunch wheatgrass (Pseudoroegneria spicata) and antelope-brush (Purshia tridentata) habitats. In 2009, the BC Ministry of Environment, in cooperation with the BC Conservation Corps (BCCC) and the BC Conservation Foundation (BCCF), began a multi-species inventory initiative to increase the amount of inventory data for several species in the Okanagan. BCCC crew members were trained to identify robber flies and searched for Efferia n. sp. while conducting multi-species surveys in antelope-brush habitats. This was done on five different parcels of antelope-brush habitat during the species' flight period of May and early June. Nine Efferia n. sp. were detected during the field training day; no other Efferia n. sp. were observed in 2009.  wsi_4626_rpt_2009Efferia.pdf (1.8 MB)
