Leptometopa is a genus of freeloader flies in the family Milichiidae. There are about 19 described species in Leptometopa. [1] [2] [3]
These 19 species belong to the genus Leptometopa:
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.
Odiniidae is a small family of flies. There are only 58 described species but there are representatives in all the major biogeographic realms.
Asteiidae is a small but widespread family of acalyptrate flies or Diptera. About 130 species in 10 genera have been described worldwide. They are rarely collected.
Canacidae, incorrectly Canaceidae, or beach flies, surf or surge flies, is a family of Diptera. As of 2010, 307 species in 27 genera. The family now includes Tethininae as a subfamily.
The Strongylophthalmyiidae are a small family of about 80 species of slender, long-legged flies, the majority of which occur in the Oriental and Australasian regions. They are divided into two genera, the monotypic Southeast Asian genus Nartshukia Shatalkin, 1993 and Strongylophthalmyia Heller, 1902. The relationships of the group are obscure; formerly the genus Strongylophthalmyia was classified with the Psilidae, and some recent classifications place it within the Tanypezidae. Little is known of their biology, but many species seem to be associated with rotting bark.
Horaismoptera is a genus of beach flies in the family Canacidae. All known species are Afrotropical or Oriental
Platystomatinae is a subfamily of flies (Diptera) in the family Platystomatidae that includes 80 genera, the largest subfamily with at last estimate, c. 900 species globally.
Meoneura is a genus of carnid flies (Diptera).
Rachispoda is a genus of flies belonging to the family Lesser Dung flies.
Periscelis is a genus of flies in the family Periscelididae. There are about 15 described species in Periscelis.
