Coenomyia is a genus of flies in the family Xylophagidae. [10]
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.
Xylomyidae is a family of flies known commonly as the wood soldier flies. They are xylophagous and are associated with dead or dying wood.
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.
Silvius is a genus of flies in the family Tabanidae.
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 tree 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.
Superfamily Tabanoidea are insects in the order Diptera.
Pangonius is a genus within the horse-fly family (Tabanidae), often misspelled as Pangonia; Latreille originally published the name as Pangonius in 1802, emending it in 1804 to Pangonia, but the emendation is not valid under the International Code of Zoological Nomenclature. Some species that were earlier placed in this genus are now in the genus Philoliche.
Rutilia is a large genus of medium to large (>20mm) flies in the family Tachinidae native to Australia and the Oriental region, though notably absent from New Zealand. Like the vast majority of tachinid flies, Rutilia species are parasitoids of other insects, specifically Rutilia are known to be parasitoids of late instar larvae of scarab beetles.
Temnostoma is a genus of hoverflies. The larvae of some species feed on the wood of deciduous trees.
Condylostylus is a genus of flies in the family Dolichopodidae. It is the second largest genus in the subfamily Sciapodinae, with more 250 species included. It has a high diversity in the Neotropical realm, where 70% of the species occur.
Milesia is a genus of very large hoverflies, which mimic social wasps. For example, the European species Milesia crabroniformis is a convincing mimic of the hornet species Vespa crabro. Milesia are predominantly Palaeotropical in distribution almost entirely Oriental.
Atherix is a genus of 'ibis flies' belonging to the family Athericidae, a small family very similar to the Rhagionidae. Species within this genus are present in most of Europe and also in the Nearctic realm.
Sciapodinae is a subfamily of flies in the family Dolichopodidae.
Solva is a fly genus in the family Xylomyidae, the "wood soldier flies".
Xylomya is a fly genus in the family Xylomyidae, the "wood soldier flies". There are at least 30 described species in Xylomya.
Philoliche is a genus of long-tongued Horse-flies found in the Old World. It appears to be the sole member of tribe Philolichini.
Pangoniinae is a subfamily of Horse-flies in the order Diptera, containing at least four tribes and 24 genera.
Pangonius mauritanus is a species of horse fly in the family Tabanidae.
Silvius abdominalis is a species of horse fly in the family Tabanidae.
