Pialea is a genus of small-headed flies. It is known from South America. [1]
Acrocerinae is a subfamily of Acroceridae. They are small distinctive flies whose larvae are endoparasites of spiders. Adults hunchback-flies visit flowers to feed on nectar. Traditionally the subfamily included the genera now placed in Cyrtinae and Ogcodinae, but the subfamily in this sense was found to be polyphyletic and was split up in 2019.
Philopotinae is a subfamily of small-headed flies. Their larvae are endoparasites of araneomorph spiders in the subfamily Entelegynae.
Neophilopota is a genus of small-headed flies. It contains only a single species, Neophilopota brevirostris, described by Schlinger in 2013. It is endemic to Mexico.
Panopinae is a subfamily of small-headed flies (Acroceridae). Their larvae are endoparasites of spiders in the infraorder Mygalomorphae.
Coquena is a genus of small-headed fly. It contains only one species, Coquena stangei, described by Schlinger in 2013. It is found in Argentina.
Ogcodes is a genus of small-headed flies in the family Acroceridae. About 90 species have been described for the genus.
Eulonchus halli is a species of small-headed flies in the family Acroceridae. It was named after one of its original collectors, Jack C. Hall, who was also a colleague of the species's author, Evert I. Schlinger, at the University of California.
Eulonchus is a genus of small-headed flies in the family Acroceridae. There are six described species in Eulonchus. The genus is found in North America. Adults have a metallic blue, green or sometimes purple coloration, giving them a jewel-like appearance. A common name for flies in the genus is the North American jewelled spider flies. Adults are also known as "sapphires" or "emeralds".
Ocnaea is a genus of small-headed flies. There are at least 20 described species in Ocnaea.
Eulonchus sapphirinus is a species of small-headed flies in the family Acroceridae.
Eulonchus tristis is a species of small-headed flies in the family Acroceridae.
Schlingeromyia is an extinct genus of small-headed flies in the family Acroceridae. The genus is known from Upper Cretaceous fossils in Burmese amber from Myanmar. It contains only one species, Schlingeromyia minuta.
Burmacyrtus is an extinct genus of small-headed flies of uncertain placement. The genus is known from Upper Cretaceous fossils in amber from Myanmar. It contains only one species, Burmacyrtus rusmithi.
Carvalhoa is a genus of small-headed flies in the family Acroceridae. The genus is endemic to Chile. It was originally known as Sphaerops, named by Rodolfo Amando Philippi in 1865. This name was found to be preoccupied by the reptile genus Sphaerops Gray, 1845, so it was renamed to Carvalhoa by Ahmet Ömer Koçak and Muhabbet Kemal in 2013. The genus is named after the Brazilian dipterist Claudio José Barros de Carvalho.
Schlingeriella is a genus of small-headed flies. It contains only one species, Schlingeriella irwini, endemic to New Caledonia.
Philopota is a genus of small-headed flies in the family Acroceridae. It is the type genus of the subfamily Philopotinae.
Eulonchus marginatus is a species of small-headed flies in the family Acroceridae.
Sabroskya is a genus of small-headed flies in the family Acroceridae. It is known from South Africa and Malawi. It is named after the American entomologist Curtis Williams Sabrosky.
Exetasis is a genus of small-headed flies. It is known from Brazil and Argentina.
Cyrtinae is a subfamily of the Acroceridae. Their larvae are endoparasites of araneomorph spiders in the subfamily Entelegynae.
