Phaeosoma is a genus of picture-winged flies in the family Ulidiidae. There are about five described species in Phaeosoma. [1] [2]
These five species belong to the genus Phaeosoma:
The cutlassfishes are about 45 species of predatory ray-finned fish in the family Trichiuridae of the order Scombriformes found in seas throughout the world. Fish of this family are long, slender, and generally steely blue or silver in colour, giving rise to their name. They have reduced or absent pelvic and caudal fins, giving them an eel-like appearance, and large fang-like teeth.
Argyra is a genus of flies in the family Dolichopodidae. The name "Argyra" comes from the Greek word for "silver", referring to the silver pruinescence found on the males of many of the species.
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 poʻo-uli or Hawaiian black-faced honeycreeper is an extinct species of passerine bird that was endemic to the island of Maui in Hawaiʻi. It is considered to be a member of the Hawaiian honeycreepers, and is the only member of its genus Melamprosops. It had a black head, brown upper parts and pale gray underparts. This bird inhabited only the wetter, easternmost side of Maui, where it had rapidly decreased in numbers. With extinction threatening, efforts were made to capture birds to enable them to breed in captivity. These efforts were unsuccessful; in 2004, only two known birds remained, and since then, no further birds have been sighted. A 2018 study recommended declaring the species extinct, citing bird population decline patterns and the lack of any confirmed sightings since 2004, and in 2019, the species was declared extinct.
The Scathophagidae are a small family of Muscoidea which are often known as dung flies, although this name is not appropriate except for a few species of the genus Scathophaga which do indeed pass their larval stages in animal dung. The name probably derives from the yellow dung fly, which is one of the most abundant and ubiquitous flies in many parts of the Northern Hemisphere.
Paroreomyza is a genus of Hawaiian honeycreeper in the subfamily Carduelinae of the family Fringillidae. These birds are endemic to Hawaii.
The Cochylini are a tribe of tortrix moths. It used to be classified as the subfamily Cochylinae.
Urophora is a genus of tephritid or fruit flies in the family Tephritidae.
Ceroxys is a genus of picture-winged flies in the family Ulidiidae.
Melieria is a genus of picture-winged fly in the family Ulidiidae.
Phaeosoma atricorne is a species of picture-winged fly in the family Ulidiidae.
Phaeosoma mongolicum is a species of picture-winged fly in the family Ulidiidae.
Phaeosoma nigricorne is a species of picture-winged fly in the family Ulidiidae.
Phaeosoma griseicolle is a species of picture-winged fly in the family Ulidiidae.
Argyrotaenia is a genus of moths in the tribe Archipini within the family Tortricidae.
Cochylis is a genus of moths belonging to the subfamily Tortricinae of the family Tortricidae.
Phalonidia is a genus of moths belonging to the subfamily Tortricinae of the family Tortricidae.
Timia is a genus of flies in the family Ulidiidae, which is difficult to separate from the genus Ulidia.
Hydrelliinae is a subfamily of shore flies in the family Ephydridae.
Pholeomyia is a genus of freeloader flies in the family Milichiidae. There are more than 30 described species in Pholeomyia.
