Paranerius is a genus of flies in the family Neriidae.
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.
The Micropezidae are a moderate-sized family of acalyptrate muscoid flies in the insect order Diptera, comprising about 500 species in about 50 genera and five subfamilies worldwide,. They are most diverse in tropical and subtropical habitats, especially in the Neotropical Region.
The Neriidae are a family of true flies (Diptera) closely related to the Micropezidae. Some species are known as cactus flies, while others have been called banana stalk flies and the family was earlier treated as subfamily of the Micropezidae which are often called stilt-legged flies. Neriids differ from micropezids in having no significant reduction of the fore legs. Neriids breed in rotting vegetation, such as decaying tree bark or rotting fruit. About 100 species are placed in 19 genera. Neriidae are found mainly in tropical regions, but two North American genera occur, each with one species, and one species of Telostylinus occurs in temperate regions of eastern Australia.
Platensina is a genus of tephritid or fruit flies in the family Tephritidae.
Condylostylus is a genus of flies in the family Dolichopodidae. It is the second largest genus in the subfamily Sciapodinae, with more 250 species included. It has a high diversity in the Neotropical realm, where 70% of the species occur.
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.
Platystoma is a genus of flies (Diptera) belonging to the family Platystomatidae.
Pantophthalmus is a genus of large, robust flies whose larvae feed on living and dead trees, and contains all but one of the species in the family Pantophthalmidae.
Nerius is a genus of cactus flies in the family Neriidae.
Tephritopyrgota is a genus of flies in the family Pyrgotidae.
Rainieria is a genus of stilt-legged flies in the family Micropezidae. There are at least 20 described species in Rainieria.
Tabaninae is a subfamily of horse flies in the family Tabanidae. There are more than 3000 described species in Tabaninae.
Odontoloxozus is a genus of cactus flies in the family Neriidae.
Glyphidops is a genus of cactus flies in the family Neriidae.
Neotanypeza is a genus of flies in the family Tanypezidae.
Sciomyzinae is a subfamily of flies in the family Sciomyzidae.
Telostylinus is a genus of flies in the family Neriidae.
Chaetonerius is a genus of flies in the family Neriidae.
Telostylus is a genus of flies in the family Neriidae.
