Macrorchis is a genus of flies belonging to the family Muscidae. [1]
The species of this genus are found in Europe and Northern America. [1]
Species: [1]
Helina is a very large genus from the fly family Muscidae.
The Apioceridae, or flower-loving flies, are a small family of flies, all in the single genus Apiocera. They occur mostly in dry, sandy habitats in the deserts of North America, South America, and Australia. Other genera formerly placed in Apioceridae are now in Mydidae.
Planorbidae, common name the ramshorn snails or ram's horn snails, is a family of air-breathing freshwater snails, aquatic pulmonate gastropod molluscs. Unlike most molluscs, the blood of ram's horn snails contains iron-based hemoglobin instead of copper-based hemocyanin. As a result, planorbids are able to breathe oxygen more efficiently than other molluscs. The presence of hemoglobin gives the body a reddish colour. This is especially apparent in albino animals.
Lucilia is a genus of blow flies in the family Calliphoridae. Various species in this genus are commonly known as green bottle flies.
Syritta is a genus of hoverflies, family Syrphidae.
Tachina is a genus of large flies in the family Tachinidae. There are approximately 600 species worldwide. Most have larvae that are parasitoids of lepidopteran caterpillars.
Udea is a genus of snout moths in the subfamily Spilomelinae of the family Crambidae. The genus was erected by Achille Guenée in 1845. The currently known 216 species are present on all continents except Antarctica. About 41 species are native to Hawaii.
Trypeta is a genus of tephritid, or fruit flies in the family Tephritidae.
Chaetopsis massyla is a species of ulidiid or picture-winged fly in the genus Chaetopsis of the family Ulidiidae. It has been recorded from North America.
The genus Chrysotoxum consists of large, wasp-mimicking species. The adults are distinguished by very long antennae, oval abdomen with yellow stripes, and yellow patterns on the thoracic pleurae . The species of Chrysotoxum are chiefly Holarctic in distribution. . The species in this genus, are mostly very uniform in structure and colour and are separated with difficulty. Larvae are specialized in preying upon root aphids associated with ant nests.
Coenosiini is a tribe of flies from the family Muscidae.
Laphria is a genus described by Johann Wilhelm Meigen in 1803, belonging to the family Asilidae, subfamily Laphriinae. Members of this genus are known as bee-like robber flies. This genus has a Holarctic distribution, occurring in Europe, Asia, and North America. They prey on a variety of insects, including other robber flies, bees, wasps and beetles. Like other asilids, they use their proboscis to penetrate the body of their prey and inject enzymes which dissolve the tissues.
Ortalis is an historic genus of Ulidiid or picture-winged flies, first described by Fallén in 1810. It served as the type genus for the family Ulidiidae, which was called Ortalidae at the time. In 1932, it was pointed out by Adlrich that the name Ortalis was preoccupied by a genus of birds which had been named by Merrem in 1786. The name of the fly family was therefore revised, with some authors calling it Otitidae until Ulidiidae was settled on as standard. The genus itself was found to be paraphyletic, and all of its species have been reassigned to other genera, some in the Ulidiidae, and some in other Tephritoid families. In the following list, the species are organized according to the families and genera to which they have been reassigned.
Cordilura is a genus of dung flies in the family Scathophagidae. There are more than 90 described species in Cordilura.
Ravinia is a genus of flesh flies in the family Sarcophagidae. There are at least 30 described species in Ravinia.
Leptorhynchoides is a genus of parasitic worms belonging to the family Rhadinorhynchidae.
Compsomyiops is a genus of blowflies, in the family Calliphoridae.
Prosthogonimus is a genus of trematodes belonging to the family Prosthogonimidae.
Total of 245 species either found or highly expected to be found in New York.
Pseudochauhanea is a genus of monogeneans within the family Chauhaneidae. There are currently 5 species assigned to the genus.
