Bertamyia notata is a species of flat-footed flies (insects in the family Platypezidae) found in the Americas (Canada to Argentina). [2] [3] [4] [5]
Pipunculidae is a family of flies (Diptera) commonly termed big-headed flies, a reference to the large (holoptic) eyes, which cover nearly the entire head. The family is found worldwide and more than 1300 species have been described.
Platypezidae is a family of true flies of the superfamily Platypezoidea. The more than 250 species are found worldwide primarily in woodland habitats. A common name is flat-footed flies, but this is also used for the closely related Opetiidae which were formerly included in the Platypezidae.
The Opetiidae is a family of true flies of the superfamily Platypezoidea, one of two families commonly called flat-footed flies. The family contains only five extant species in two genera, Opetia from the Palearctic region and Puyehuemyia from Chile in South America. Several fossil genera have been assigned to the family, but many of these are likely to belong elsewhere in the Platypezoidea. Lonchopterites from the Early Cretaceous Lebanese amber and Electrosania from the Late Cretaceous New Jersey amber seem likely to be closely related to modern opetiids.
Atelestidae is a family of flies in the superfamily Empidoidea. The four genera were placed in a separate family in 1983; they were formerly either in Platypezidae or considered incertae sedis. While they are doubtless the most basal of the living Empidoidea, the monophyly of the family is not fully proven. The genus Nemedina seems to represent a most ancient lineage among the entire superfamily, while Meghyperus is probably not monophyletic in its present delimitation, and it is liable to be split up eventually, with some species being placed elsewhere. In 2010, the genus Alavesia, previously only known from Cretaceous fossils, was found alive in Namibia, subsequent species were also described from Brazil.
Hybomitra is a genus of horse flies in the family Tabanidae. There are at least 240 described species in Hybomitra.
Blera is primarily a North American genus, though there are 3 species from Europe. The genus is characterized by the following characters:
Ironomyiidae is a small family of flies in the order Diptera. Historically, they had been included in the family Platypezidae, and includes three extant species within the single extant genus Ironomyia endemic to Australia and a number of extinct fossil genera from North America and Asia extending back to the Early Cretaceous.
Callomyia is a genus of flies in the family Platypezidae. Some species can be found in Belgium.
Lindneromyia is a genus of flat-footed flies. There are at least 70 described species in Lindneromyia.
Laphystia is a genus of robber flies in the family Asilidae. There are at least 50 described species in Laphystia.
Polyporivora is a genus of flat-footed flies. There are about eight described species in Polyporivora.
Calotarsa is a genus of flat-footed flies. There are about six described species in Calotarsa.
Platypeza is a genus of flat-footed flies. There are at least 30 described species in Platypeza.
Bertamyia is a genus of flat-footed flies. There are two described species Bertamyia notata and Bertamyia umacibise.
Grossoseta pacifica is a species of flat-footed flies.
Grossoseta is a genus of flat-footed flies. There are at least two described species in Grossoseta.
Pericoma is a genus of moth flies in the family Psychodidae. There are at least 190 described species in Pericoma.
Sackenomyia is a genus of gall midges, insects in the family Cecidomyiidae. There are about five described species in Sackenomyia.
Microsania is a genus of flat-footed flies in the family Platypezidae.
Paraplatypeza is a genus of flat-footed flies in the family Platypezidae.
