Adia is a genus of flies in the family Anthomyiidae. [1]
The Anthomyiidae are a large and diverse family of Muscoidea flies. Most look rather like small houseflies, but are commonly drab grey. The genus Anthomyia, in contrast, is generally conspicuously patterned in black-and-white or black-and-silvery-grey. Most are difficult to identify, apart from a few groups such as the kelp flies that are conspicuous on beaches.
Pegoplata, sometimes known as Nupedia, is a genus of flies within the family Anthomyiidae.
Carnidae, also known as bird flies or filth flies, is a family of flies (Diptera). There are 6 genera, containing about 93 species worldwide.
Diastatidae are a family of flies in the order Diptera. They are encountered primarily in the Holarctic Region, but several species are found in the Oriental, Neotropical and Australasian regions. Members of the family number over 20 described species in three genera. There is an additional fossil genus.
Delia flies are members of the Anthomyiidae family within the superfamily Muscoidae. The identification of different species of Delia can be very difficult for non-specialists as the diagnostic characteristics used for immature and/or female specimens may be inconsistent between species. Past taxonomic keys were not as comprehensive in their identification of Delia specimens; they were either too reliant on genetic characteristics, focused solely on a specific life stage, or were focused only on certain species. However current taxonomic keys aim to be more thorough by not only including morphological diagnostics for males, females, and immature specimens of various species, but also their genetic make-up or molecular barcode.
Pegomya is a genus of flies within the family Anthomyiidae. Some species are considered pests due to their leafmining larvae. Species include:
Actia maksymovi is a Palearctic species of fly in the family Tachinidae.
Actia dubitata is a Palearctic species of fly in the family Tachinidae.
Actia pilipennis is a Palearctic species of fly in the family Tachinidae.
Anthomyia is a genus of flies in the family Anthomyiidae. They look rather like small houseflies, but commonly have conspicuous black-and-white patterning. This appears to be a mild form of aposematic coloration, though they do not appear to be distasteful unless they have eaten something offensive to the predator and have loaded their guts with it.
Herina is a genus of flies in the family Ulidiidae. It is possibly the largest genus in the family.
Pegomya geniculata is a species of fly in the family Anthomyiidae. It has been recorded in the United States, Ireland, and Switzerland. The insect is fungivorous, and uses the fruit bodies of several mushroom species to breed, such as Verpa bohemica.
Siphona variata is a Palearctic species of fly in the family Tachinidae.
Siphona cristata is a Palearctic species of fly in the family Tachinidae.
Siphona geniculata is a Palearctic species of fly in the family Tachinidae.
Siphona pauciseta is a Palearctic species of fly in the family Tachinidae.
Meoneura is a genus of carnid flies (Diptera).
Leucophora is a genus of root-maggot flies in the family Anthomyiidae. There are at least 60 described species in Leucophora.
Egle is a genus of willow catkin flies in the family Anthomyiidae. There are at least 40 described species in Egle.
Botanophila fonsecai, also known as Fonseca's seed fly, is a small fly endemic only to an approximately 100 m stretch of coastal dune system of north-eastern Scotland. The fly is named after British entomologist Evelyn d’Assis-Fonseca. It is classified as an endangered species by the IUCN Red List due to its small habitat range and constant threats to these limited environments. The fly is probably the rarest endemic insect species in the UK.
