Exetasis is a genus of small-headed flies. It is known from Brazil and Argentina. [2]
Superfamily Tabanoidea are insects in the order Diptera.
Acrocerinae is a subfamily of small-headed flies in the family Acroceridae. Their larvae are endoparasites of araneomorph spiders, with the exception of Carvalhoa appendiculata which can develop as ectoparasitoids on their host spiders. 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.
Leskia is a genus of flies in the family Tachinidae.
Tephritis is a genus of flies. It contains around 170 described species, making it the sixth largest genus in the family Tephritidae. Many more undescribed species are known from specimen collections. Tephritis occur throughout much of the world, but most are Palearctic. They can be found in a wide range of climate types, from hot semidesert to tundra. Most species inhabit the inflorescences of plants from several tribes in the family Asteraceae, and a few species cause galls to form.
Philopotinae is a subfamily of small-headed flies. They have an arched body shape, as well as enlarged postpronotal lobes that form a collar behind the head. 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.
Acrocera is a genus of small-headed flies in the family Acroceridae.
Euhybus is a genus of flies in the family Hybotidae.
Ogcodes is a genus of small-headed flies in the family Acroceridae. About 90 species have been described for the genus.
Chersodromia is a genus of flies in the family Hybotidae.
Pterodontia is a genus of small-headed flies. There are at least 20 described species in Pterodontia.
Ocnaea is a genus of small-headed flies. There are 20 described species in Ocnaea.
Lasia is a genus of small-headed flies in the family Acroceridae. There are about 19 described species in Lasia, which are distributed in the New World.
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.
Philopota is a genus of small-headed flies in the family Acroceridae. It is the type genus of the subfamily Philopotinae.
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.
Arrhynchus is a genus of small-headed flies in the family Acroceridae. It was formerly considered a synonym of Ocnaea, but was reinstated as a valid genus by Schlinger in 1968. It is endemic to Chile.
Cyrtinae is a subfamily of the Acroceridae. Their larvae are endoparasites of araneomorph spiders in the subgroup Entelegynae.
Lasia corvina is a species of fly from the genus Lasia in the family Acroceridae. The species was originally described by Wilhelm Ferdinand Erichson in 1840. It is recorded from Chile and Argentina.
