Eulonchus halli is a species of small-headed flies in the family Acroceridae. [2] [3] [4] [5] It was named after one of its original collectors, Jack C. Hall, who was also a colleague of the species's author, Evert I. Schlinger, at the University of California. [1] [5]
Acrocerinae is a subfamily of Acroceridae. They are small distinctive flies whose larvae are endoparasites of spiders. Adult hunchback-flies visit flowers to feed on nectar. Traditionally the subfamily included the genera now placed in Cyrtinae and Ogcodinae, but the subfamily in this sense was found to be polyphyletic and was split up in 2019.
Philopotinae is a subfamily of small-headed flies. Their larvae are endoparasites of araneomorph spiders in the subgroup Entelegynae.
Panopinae is a subfamily of small-headed flies (Acroceridae). Their larvae are endoparasites of spiders in the infraorder Mygalomorphae.
Coquena is a genus of small-headed fly found in Argentina and Chile. It was first established by Evert I. Schlinger in 2013.
Acrocera is a genus of small-headed flies in the family Acroceridae. There are around 50 described species in Acrocera.
Ogcodes is a genus of small-headed flies in the family Acroceridae. About 90 species have been described for the genus.
Eulonchus is a genus of small-headed flies in the family Acroceridae. There are six described species in Eulonchus. The genus is found in North America. Adults have a metallic blue, green or sometimes purple coloration, giving them a jewel-like appearance. A common name for flies in the genus is the North American jewelled spider flies. Adults are also known as "sapphires" or "emeralds".
Pterodontia is a genus of small-headed flies. There are at least 20 described species in Pterodontia.
Turbopsebius is a genus of small-headed flies in the family Acroceridae. There are about four described species in Turbopsebius.
Ocnaea is a genus of small-headed flies. There are at least 20 described species in Ocnaea.
Eulonchus sapphirinus is a species of small-headed flies in the family Acroceridae.
Eulonchus tristis is a species of small-headed flies in the family Acroceridae.
Carvalhoa is a genus of small-headed flies in the family Acroceridae. The genus is endemic to Chile. It was originally known as Sphaerops, named by Rodolfo Amando Philippi in 1865. This name was found to be preoccupied by the reptile genus Sphaerops Gray, 1845, so it was renamed to Carvalhoa by Ahmet Ömer Koçak and Muhabbet Kemal in 2013. The genus is named after the Brazilian dipterist Claudio José Barros de Carvalho.
Eulonchus marginatus is a species of small-headed flies in the family Acroceridae.
Panops is a genus of small-headed flies. It is endemic to Australia and the Papua region of Indonesia. Males and females measure 8.0–12.5 mm and 9.5–14.5 mm, respectively.
Apsona is a genus of small-headed flies. It contains only one species, Apsona muscaria, which is endemic to New Zealand. It is very similar to the North American species Eulonchus smaragdinus.
Sabroskya is a genus of small-headed flies in the family Acroceridae. It is known from South Africa and Malawi. It is named after the American entomologist Curtis Williams Sabrosky.
Archipialea is a genus of small-headed flies in the family Acroceridae. It is endemic to Chile.
Arrhynchus is a genus of small-headed flies in the family Acroceridae. It has sometimes been placed as a synonym of Ocnaea. It is endemic to Chile.
Cyrtinae is a subfamily of the Acroceridae. Their larvae are endoparasites of araneomorph spiders in the subgroup Entelegynae.
