Homalopterus is a genus of beetles in the family Megalopodidae, containing the following species: [1] [2]
Sphaeroceridae are a family of true flies in the order Diptera, often called small dung flies, lesser dung flies or lesser corpse flies due to their saprophagous habits. They belong to the typical fly suborder Brachycera as can be seen by their short antennae, and more precisely they are members of the section Schizophora. There are over 1,300 species and about 125 genera accepted as valid today, but new taxa are still being described.
The Lauxaniidae are a family of acalyptrate flies. They generally are small flies with large compound eyes that often are brightly coloured in life, sometimes with characteristic horizontal stripes, such as in Cestrotus species. Many species have variegated patterns on their wings, but in contrast they generally do not have variegated bodies, except for genera such as Cestrotus, whose camouflage mimics lichens or the texture of granitic rocks.
Xylomyidae is a family of flies known commonly as the wood soldier flies. They are xylophagous and are associated with dead or dying wood.
Odiniidae is a small family of flies. There are only 58 described species but there are representatives in all the major biogeographic realms.
The Megalopodidae are a small family of leaf beetles, previously included as a subfamily within the Chrysomelidae. One of its constituent subfamilies, Zeugophorinae, which contains a single genus, has also frequently been treated as a subfamily within Chrysomelidae. The family contains approximately 30 genera worldwide, primarily in the nominate subfamily Megalopodinae, and mostly circumtropical.
The beetle subfamily Megalopodinae is the largest group within the family Megalopodidae. Species in the subfamily are mostly tropical in distribution, and their larvae typically bore inside of plant stems.
Phonognatha is a genus of South Pacific orb-weaver spiders first described by Eugène Simon in 1895. It was originally placed with the long-jawed orb weavers, and was moved to Araneidae in 2008.
Ceratopos is a genus of flies in the family Dolichopodidae, known from Algeria and Portugal. It contains only one species, Ceratopos seguyi. It is closely related to Syntormon.
Bolitophila is the sole living genus in the Bolitophilidae, a family of Diptera in the superfamily Sciaroidea, with around 40 Palaearctic and about 20 Nearctic species, and three species from the Oriental region (Taiwan). They are small (6–9 mm.)
Agathomerus is a genus of beetles in the family Megalopodidae, containing the following species:
Antonaria is a genus of beetles in the family Megalopodidae, containing the following species:
Barticaria is a genus of beetles in the family Megalopodidae. It contains only one species, Barticaria cyaneus, found in Brazil and Guyana.
Bothromegalopus is a genus of beetles in the family Megalopodidae, containing the following species:
Mastostethus is a genus of beetles in the family Megalopodidae, containing the following species:
Megalopus is a genus of beetles in the family Megalopodidae, containing the following species:
Poecilomorpha is a genus of beetles in the family Megalopodidae, containing the following species:
Temnaspis is a genus of beetles in the family Megalopodidae, containing the following species:
Limosininae is a subfamily of flies belonging to the family Sphaeroceridae, the lesser dung flies.
Lygistorrhinidae is a family of long-beaked fungus gnats in the order Diptera. There are about 7 genera and at least 30 described species in Lygistorrhinidae.
Acusilas coccineus is a species of spider in the family Araneidae, found from India and China to Indonesia. In India particularly, it has been known by the synonym Phonognatha vicitraSherriffs, 1928, but this is based on a misidentification. In India, it is found in woodlands and among shrubs. It is a small orb-weaver.
