Chloropsina elegans is a species of fly in the family Chloropidae. It is found in the Philippines (Luzon).
The Bombyliidae are a family of flies, commonly known as bee flies. Adults generally feed on nectar and pollen, some being important pollinators. Larvae are mostly parasitoids of other insects.
Thaumaleidae, the solitary midges or trickle midges, are a group of nematoceran flies related to the Ceratopogonidae, Chironomidae, and the Simuliidae. They are small, stocky, yellow to brown flies (3–4 mm). Very few species are known for this family. Larvae are found in films on rocks and the nonfeeding adults are usually found on foliage along the same streams in which the larvae are found. A few solitary midges are found in the Southern Hemisphere, but Thaumaleidae are generally an Holarctic family.
Chrysopilus is common, worldwide genus of predatory snipe flies. There are approximately 300 species in the genus, including fossil members that are sometimes found in amber.
Rhagionidae or snipe flies are a small family of flies. They get their name from the similarity of their often prominent proboscis that looks like the beak of a snipe.
The Pyrgotidae are an unusual family of flies (Diptera), one of only two families of Cyclorrhapha that lack ocelli. Most species are "picture-winged", as is typical among the Tephritoidea, but unlike other tephritoids, they are endoparasitoids; the females pursue scarab beetles in flight, laying an egg on the beetle's back under the elytra where the beetle cannot reach it. The egg hatches and the fly larva enters the body cavity of the beetle, feeding and eventually killing the host before pupating. In the United States, some species of Pyrgota and Sphecomyiella can be quite common in areas where their host beetles are abundant. Like their host beetles, these flies are primarily nocturnal, and are often attracted to artificial lights.
Melinda is a genus of flies in the family Calliphoridae. In general little is known of their biology. A few species have been reared from snails. One – Melinda gentilis – is parasitic in the snails Helicella virgata and Goniodiseus rotundata and Melinda itoi is a parasite of the snail Acusta despecta sieboldiana.
Lophosia is a genus of flies in the family Tachinidae.
Rhabdochaeta is a genus of tephritid or fruit flies in the family Tephritidae.
Trupanea is a genus of tephritid or fruit flies in the family Tephritidae.
Chloropsina is a genus of flies in the family Chloropidae.
Empis is a genus of dance fly found in the fly family Empididae.
Schizella is a genus of snipe flies of the family Rhagionidae. They are delicate flies from 3.7 to 6.3 mm, with long, thin legs, and the thorax is brown to orange-brown with blue, purple, or golden-coloured setae.
Hemerodromiinae are a worldwide group of predatory flies with raptorial forelegs.
Empidinae are a subfamily of empidoid flies. They are mainly predatory flies like most of their relatives, and generally small to medium-sized. Most species are flower visitors and they can be effective pollinators.
Anthracinae is a subfamily of bee flies in the family Bombyliidae. There are more than 80 genera and 2,000 described species in Anthracinae.
Hilarempis is a genus of flies in the family Empididae.
Macrostomus is a genus of flies in the family Empididae.
Telostylus is a genus of flies in the family Neriidae.
Suragina is a genus of flies in the family Athericidae.
Neohybos is a genus of flies in the family Hybotidae.
