Periscelis is a genus of flies in the family Periscelididae. There are about 15 described species in Periscelis. [1] [2] [3]
These 15 species belong to the genus Periscelis:
Sphaeroceridae are a family of true flies in the order Diptera, often called small dung flies, lesser dung flies or lesser corpse flies due to their saprophagous habits. They belong to the typical fly suborder Brachycera as can be seen by their short antennae, and more precisely they are members of the section Schizophora. There are over 1,300 species and about 125 genera accepted as valid today, but new taxa are still being described.
The Curtotonidae or quasimodo flies are a small family of small grey to dark brown humpbacked flies (Diptera) with a worldwide distribution, but with very few species in the Nearctic, Australasian/Oceanian, and Palaearctic regions. Most members of the family are found in tropical to subtropical latitudes in Africa and the Neotropics. Many remain undescribed in collections, since little work on the family has been done since the 1930s.
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.
Diastatidae are a family of flies in the order Diptera. They are encountered primarily in the Holarctic Region, but several species are found in the Oriental, Neotropical and Australasian regions. Members of the family number over 20 described species in three genera. There is an additional fossil genus.
Poecilosomella is a genus of flies belonging to the family Lesser Dung flies. These small flies, often with attractive patterning on the wings and body, are commonly found in a wide range of habitats throughout the Old World and Australasia.
Aulacigastridae is a very small family of flies known as sap flies. The family Stenomicridae used to be included within this family, but was moved by Papp in 1984. They are found in all the Ecoregions.
Periscelididae is a family of flies.
Copromyzinae is a subfamily of flies belonging to the family Sphaeroceridae.
Norrbomia is a genus of flies belonging to the family lesser dung flies.
Limosininae is a subfamily of flies belonging to the family Sphaeroceridae, the lesser dung flies.
Aptilotus is a genus of flies belonging to the family Lesser Dung flies.
Ceroptera is a genus of flies belonging to the family of the Lesser Dung flies.
Minilimosina is a genus of lesser dung flies in the family Sphaeroceridae. There are more than 70 described species in Minilimosina, found on every continent except Antarctica.
Spelobia is a genus of flies belonging to the family of the Lesser Dung flies.
Telomerina is a genus of flies belonging to the family Lesser Dung flies.
Chymomyza is a genus of vinegar flies.
Stenomicra is a genus of flies in the family Periscelididae. There are more than 20 described species in the genus Stenomicra.
Leptometopa is a genus of freeloader flies in the family Milichiidae. There are about 19 described species in Leptometopa.
Paramyia is a genus of freeloader flies in the family Milichiidae. There are about 18 described species in Paramyia.
