Heleomyza serrata, Trawscoed, North Wales, April 2013 (16308043223).jpg

The body length is 3 to 7 mm. It is characterized by the presence of setae on the propleura , several pairs of setae on the prothorax and at most one hair on the mesopleura . The male's reproductive organs are characterized byrudimentary aedes, an unexpanded base of the epandrium , and surstyles that are much longer than the epandrium and are evenly curved along the entire length.For terms see Morphology of Diptera.

<i>Suillia bicolor</i> Species of fly

Suillia bicolor is a Palearctic species of Heleomyzidae. The sctellum is covered with light, fine, scattered hairs. The wing venation is characterized by the presence of small spines on the costal vein. The first pair of legs of the male has the first tarsal segments equipped with a spike of a triangular shape and a width smaller than the width of the segment. The female's abdomen has a seventh segment that is longer than the sixth. The reproductive organs of females have three irregularly jagged, cylindrical in outline, seminal receptacles narrowly curled at the apex. For terms see Morphology of Diptera.

Dipteran morphology differs in some significant ways from the broader morphology of insects. The Diptera is a very large and diverse order of mostly small to medium-sized insects. They have prominent compound eyes on a mobile head, and one pair of functional, membraneous wings, which are attached to a complex mesothorax. The second pair of wings, on the metathorax, are reduced to halteres. The order's fundamental peculiarity is its remarkable specialization in terms of wing shape and the morpho-anatomical adaptation of the thorax – features which lend particular agility to its flying forms. The filiform, stylate or aristate antennae correlate with the Nematocera, Brachycera and Cyclorrhapha taxa respectively. It displays substantial morphological uniformity in lower taxa, especially at the level of genus or species. The configuration of integumental bristles is of fundamental importance in their taxonomy, as is wing venation. It displays a complete metamorphosis, or holometabolous development. The larvae are legless, and have head capsules with mandibulate mouthparts in the Nematocera. The larvae of "higher flies" (Brachycera) are however headless and wormlike, and display only three instars. Pupae are obtect in the Nematocera, or coarcate in Brachycera.

Tephrochlamys rufiventris is a species of fly in the family Heleomyzidae. It is found in the Palearctic .The body length is 5 to 6 mm. The head is has both setae and bristles on the gena. The thorax is characterized by the presence of setae on the propleura, a bare prothorax and metathoracic setae in a 0+3 arrangement, with the first pair of suture setae lying closer to the suture than to the second pair. The posterior and anterior metathoracic setae are almost the same length, and the hairs between them are placed in more than four rows. The wings have short and monochromatic pterostigmas and spine-like bristles on the costal vein longer than the hair. The middle pair of legs has one well-developed spur on each tibia.For terms see Morphology of Diptera.

The head is characterized by silky black dots at the bases of the anterior orbital setae, between the bases of the antennae and the edges of the compound eyes, and in the centre of the occiput. The third antenna segment is a little shorter than the second. The mesonotum is black with a grey ground and grey pruinosity.There are longitudinal, brown stripes on the dorsum of the thorax: two narrow in the middle and two wide on the sides. One mesopleural bristle amongst short setae.The prothorax is bare. The yellowish smoky wings are 5.2 to 6.8 mm long and have fuzzy spots on the front half. The legs and abdomen are yellow. The lower surfaces of the hind femora are equipped with setae, while the front pair lacks them.The abdomen is rufous.For terms see Morphology of Diptera.

If there are only 2 dots on the medial vein, the transverse veins are at least darkened. The legs are yellow with darkened tarsi. The lower surfaces of the femora of the hind legs are equipped with strong and dense setae in males, and with short and sparse setae in females. Males are characterized by a copulatory apparatus with non-swollen abdominal pituitary glands.For terms see Morphology of Diptera. The larva preys on Galba truncatula
