Geminaria is a genus of bee flies (insects in the family Bombyliidae). [1] [2] [3] [4]
As a result of research published in 2019, this genus was transferred from the subfamily Bombyliinae to Lordotinae. [3]
These two species belong to the genus Geminaria: [1]
The Bombyliidae are a family of flies, commonly known as bee flies. Some are colloquially known as bomber flies. Adults generally feed on nectar and pollen, some being important pollinators. Larvae are mostly parasitoids of other insects.
Anthrax is a genus of bombyliid flies, commonly known as "bee-flies" due to their resemblance to bees. Most are dull black flies, and are usually small to medium in size, 4–20 millimetres (0.2–0.8 in), and many species have striking wing patterns.
Villa is a genus of flies belonging to the bee-fly family (Bombyliidae). They range in size from 5 to 17 millimetres, and have typically rounded heads. The males of some species have a brilliant mat of silvery patagial scales. About 270 Villa species are found on all continents except Antarctica. They can be distinguished from similar genera (Hemipenthes) by their wing venation.
Conophorini is a tribe of bee flies in the family Bombyliidae.
Bombyliinae is a subfamily of bee flies in the family Bombyliidae. There are more than 70 genera in Bombyliinae.
Lordotus is a genus of bee flies. There are at least 30 described species in Lordotus.
