Dixella is a genus of meniscus midges in the family Dixidae. There are more than 70 described species in Dixella. [1] [2] [3]
These 73 species belong to the genus Dixella:
The Blephariceridae, commonly known as net-winged midges, are a nematoceran family in the order Diptera. The adults resemble crane flies except with a projecting anal angle in the wings, and different head shape, absence of the V on the mesonotum, and more laterally outstretched, forward-facing legs. They are uncommon, but dozens of genera occur worldwide, and over 200 species.
Mycetophilidae is a family of small flies, forming the bulk of those species known as fungus gnats. About 3000 described species are placed in 150 genera, but the true number of species is undoubtedly much higher. They are generally found in the damp habitats favoured by their host fungi and sometimes form dense swarms.
The Chioneinae are a subfamily of limoniid crane flies.
Corethrella is a genus of midges that are classified in the family Corethrellidae.
Chironomini is a tribe of midges in the non-biting midge family (Chironomidae).
Tanytarsini is a tribe of midges in the non-biting midge family (Chironomidae).
Pentaneurini is a tribe of midges in the non-biting midge family (Chironomidae).
Dicranomyia is a genus of crane fly in the family Limoniidae. Larvae are mostly aquatic or semi-aquatic, with an exception found in a single Hawaiian Islands species which has a leaf-mining larva.
Cordilura is a genus of dung flies in the family Scathophagidae. There are more than 90 described species in Cordilura.
Bradysia is a genus of fungus gnat in the family Sciaridae. They are commonly known as darkwinged fungus gnats. They are considered a major pest in greenhouse agriculture because they thrive in the moist conditions common inside greenhouses and feed on the plants being grown within. Bradysia is a large genus containing over 500 living species, with at least 65 species found in North America and 172 in Europe.
Isoneuromyia is a genus of flies belonging to the family Keroplatidae. The genus has an almost cosmopolitan distribution.
