Acrosathe is a genus of stiletto flies in the family Therevidae. There are more than 20 described species in Acrosathe. [1] [2] [3]
These 22 species belong to the genus Acrosathe:
The Therevidae are a family of flies of the superfamily Asiloidea commonly known as stiletto flies. The family contains about 1,600 described species worldwide, most diverse in arid and semiarid regions with sandy soils. The larvae are predators of insect larvae in soil.
Apsilocephalidae is a family of flies in the superfamily Asiloidea. The family was proposed in 1991 as a close relative of Therevidae distinguishable by genitalic characters. The family contains three extant genera and four extinct genera described from the fossil record..
Rhagio is a worldwide genus of predatory snipe flies. Several species in this genus are referred to as downlooker or down-looker flies because they sometimes perch on trees trunks in a head-down position. There are approximately 170 species. They can be distinguished from other rhagionids by the open anal cell on the wings and the lack of a kidney-shaped arista.
Villa is a genus of flies belonging to the bee-fly family (Bombyliidae). They range in size from 5 to 17 millimetres, and have typically rounded heads. The males of some species have a brilliant mat of silvery patagial scales. About 270 Villa species are found on all continents except Antarctica. They can be distinguished from similar genera (Hemipenthes) by their wing venation.
