Species

Ulidiidae Family of flies

The Ulidiidae or picture-winged flies are a large and diverse cosmopolitan family of flies (Diptera), and as in related families, most species are herbivorous or detritivorous. They are often known as picture-winged flies, along with members of other families in the superfamily Tephritoidea that have patterns of bands or spots on the wings. Some species share with the Tephritidae an unusual elongated posteroapical projection of the anal cell in the wing, but can be differentiated by the smoothly curving subcostal vein. Two species, Tetanops myopaeformis and Euxesta stigmatias, are agricultural pests.

<i>Zeuxia</i> Genus of flies

Zeuxia is a genus of flies in the family Tachinidae.

<i>Chaetorellia</i> Genus of flies

<i>Tephritis</i> Genus of flies

Tephritis is a genus of flies. It contains around 170 described species, making it the sixth largest genus in the family Tephritidae. Many more undescribed species are known from specimen collections. Tephritis occur throughout much of the world, but most are Palearctic. They can be found in a wide range of climate types, from hot semidesert to tundra. Most species inhabit the inflorescences of plants from several tribes in the family Asteraceae, and a few species cause galls to form.

<i>Terellia</i> Genus of flies

Noeeta is a genus of tephritid or fruit flies in the family Tephritidae.

<i>Oxyna</i> Genus of flies

Oxyna is a genus of fruit flies in the family Tephritidae. There are at least 20 described species in Oxyna.

<i>Trupanea</i> Genus of fruit flies

Myennis mandschurica is a species of ulidiid or picture-winged fly in the genus Myennis of the family Ulidiidae.

Myennis tricolor is a species of ulidiid or picture-winged fly in the genus Myennis of the family Ulidiidae.

<i>Chalcosyrphus</i> Genus of flies

Chalcosyrphus is a genus of hoverflies in the subfamily Eristalinae. Many species exhibit some degree of mimicry of various sawflies and other hymenopterans and are often brightly coloured or metallic in hue. The adults are similar in structure and behavior to the related genus Xylota but differ in larval morphology. They can be found throughout Europe, Asia, and North America and seem to prefer damper, boggy habitats. The larvae are saproxylic feeders in rotten wood in these habitats.

Otitinae Subfamily of flies

Otitinae is the name of a subfamily of flies in the family Ulidiidae. It was formerly the Otitidae. Like the Ulidiinae, most species are herbivorous or saprophagous. Most species share with the Tephritidae an unusual elongated projection of the anal cell in the wing, but can be differentiated by the smoothly curving subcostal vein. Most are dull gray to shiny brown or black flies with vein R1 setulose or, in a few cases, bare.

<i>Platystoma</i> Genus of flies

Platystoma is a genus of flies (Diptera) belonging to the family Platystomatidae.
