Adejeania is a genus of tachinid flies from the Americas. While most species are found in South America, A. vexatrix occurs from Mexico up to British Columbia. The genus name is an alteration of Dejeania, meaning "not Dejeania". Other tachinid genera from the same root are Eudejeania, Paradejeania and Protodejeania.
Acaulona is a genus of flies in the family Tachinidae.
Beskia is a genus of flies in the family Tachinidae.
Comyopsis is a genus of flies in the family Tachinidae.
Sturmiopsis is a genus of flies in the family Tachinidae.
Acaulona erythropyga is a species of fly in the family Tachinidae.
Lespesia is a genus of flies in the family Tachinidae.
Lixophaga is a genus of flies in the family Tachinidae.
Exoristinae is a subfamily of flies in the family Tachinidae. Most species are parasitoids of caterpillars.
Blondeliini is a tribe of parasitic flies in the family Tachinidae. Larvae are parasitoids of other insects, mostly beetles and caterpillars. Although nearly cosmopolitan, its greatest diversity is in the New World and especially in South America.
Goniini is a tribe of parasitic flies in the family Tachinidae. Members of Goniini are distinguished from other Tachinidae by laying small "microtype" eggs that hatch only after being ingested by a host.
Charles Henry Tyler Townsend was an American entomologist specializing in the study of tachinids (Tachinidae), a large and diverse family of flies (Diptera) with larvae that are parasitoids of other insects. He was perhaps the most prolific publisher of new tachinids, naming and describing some 3000 species and genera. He made important contributions to the biological control of insect pests and he was the first to identify the insect vector of a debilitating disease in Peru. Townsend was also a controversial figure and criticism of his approach to insect taxonomy continues to this day.
