Neoeuxesta fumicosta is a species of ulidiid, or picture-winged, fly in the genus Neoeuxesta ; it is found in Samoa. [1] [2] [3]
Permotanyderus is an extinct genus of protodipteran insect of the Permotanyderidae family, first described by Edgar F. Riek in Australia in 1953 and which contains a single species P. ableptus.
The Mycetophilidae are a family of small flies, forming the bulk of those species known as fungus gnats. About 3000 described species are placed in 150 genera, but the true number of species is undoubtedly much higher. They are generally found in the damp habitats favoured by their host fungi and sometimes form dense swarms.
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.
The Scenopinidae or window flies are a small family of flies (Diptera), distributed worldwide. In buildings, they are often taken at windows, hence the common name window flies.
Mythicomyiidae, commonly called mythicomyiids, are very tiny flies (0.5–5.0 mm) found throughout most parts of the world, especially desert and semi-desert regions, except the highest altitudes and latitudes. They are not as common in the tropics, but genera such as Cephalodromia and Platypygus are known from these regions. Many of these "microbombyliids" have a humpbacked thorax and lack the dense vestiture common in the Bombyliidae. Mythicomyiids have until recently not had much attention in the literature. Their small size has caused them to be missed when collecting. Yellow pan trapping and fine-mesh netting in Malaise and aerial sweep nets has resulted in a number of undescribed species from many parts of the world. A high diversity of both genera and species exists for this family in Africa, especially northern and southern portions. About 350 species are known. Hundreds more await description.
Campsicnemus mirabilis is an extinct species of fly in family Dolichopodidae. It was endemic to the Hawaiian Islands.
Campsicnemus is a genus of flies in family Dolichopodidae. There are more than 290 described species, made up of 34 Palearctic, 22 Nearctic, seven Afrotropic, 170 Australasian and Oceanian, and seven Indomalayan species. Some species endemic to the Hawaiian islands are characterized by their lack of wings. After the introduction of invasive ants and other alien species such as wild boar (Sus scrofa) to the islands, some of these flightless species are believed extinct.
Neotachina is a genus of tachinid flies in the family Tachinidae. The four known species in this genus were collected in New Zealand in 1938 and described by Scottish entomologist John Russell Malloch.
Zygobothria is a genus of flies in the family Tachinidae.
Neoeuxesta guamana is a species of ulidiid, or picture-winged fly, in the genus Neoeuxesta. It is found in Guam.
Neoeuxesta is a genus of picture-winged flies in the family Ulidiidae. As of 2012, it consists of the following species:
Helixocerus is a genus of flies in the family Dolichopodidae. It is known from New Caledonia, American Samoa and Western Samoa.
Sigmatineurum is a genus of fly in the family Dolichopodidae. It is endemic to Hawaii, occurring on all the main islands in the archipelago. It is part of the Eurynogaster complex of genera.
Bironella is one of the three mosquito genera in the subfamily Anophelinae. The other two genera are Anopheles Meigen and Chagasia Cruz (Neotropics).
Sympycninae is a subfamily of flies in the family Dolichopodidae.
Otwayia is a genus of flies belonging to the family Lesser Dung flies.
Brachyanax is a genus of bee fly in the subfamily Anthracinae. It was circumscribed by Neal Evenhuis in 1981. Thirteen species are recognized, and they are found in Asia and Australasia.
Spilogona latimana is a fly from the family Muscidae. It is found in New Zealand.
Limnohelina bivittata is a fly from the family Muscidae. It is found in New Zealand.
Homalocnemis is a genus of flies which is placed in a family of its own, the Homalocnemiidae. There are about seven species in the genus found in the Afrotropical, Neotropical, and Australasian regions, suggestive of a Gondwanan origin. The genus was formerly considered a primitive empidoid and placed variously in the Hybotidae or in the empidid subfamily Brachystomatinae. They are recognized by their wing venation which includes a long anal cell and a long basal segment of the antennal style.
