Pseudodyscrasis is a genus of picture-winged flies in the family Ulidiidae. [3]
Christian Rudolph Wilhelm Wiedemann was a German physician, historian, naturalist and entomologist. He is best known for his studies of world Diptera, but he also studied Hymenoptera and Coleoptera, although far less expertly.
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.
Pterotaenia is a genus of picture-winged flies in the family Ulidiidae.
Tritoxa is a genus of picture-winged flies in the family Ulidiidae.
Chaetopsis aenea is a species of ulidiid or picture-winged fly in the genus Chaetopsis of the family Ulidiidae.
Euxesta sororcula is a species of ulidiid or picture-winged fly in the genus Euxesta of the family Ulidiidae. Its distribution is in Central and South America. It feeds on foliage of the genus Zea.
Pterotaenia fasciata is a species of ulidiid or picture-winged fly in the genus Pterotaenia of the family Ulidiidae.
Neodyscrasis steyskali is a species of ulidiid or picture-winged fly in the genus Neodyscrasis of the family Ulidiidae.
Tritoxa flexa is a species of picture-winged fly in the genus Tritoxa of the family Ulidiidae.
Herina is a genus of flies in the family Ulidiidae. It is possibly the largest genus in the family.
Timia is a genus of flies in the family Ulidiidae, which is difficult to separate from the genus Ulidia.
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.

Ortalis is an historic genus of Ulidiid or picture-winged flies, first described by Fallén in 1810. It served as the type genus for the family Ulidiidae, which was called Ortalidae at the time. In 1932, it was pointed out by Adlrich that the name Ortalis was preoccupied by a genus of birds which had been named by Merrem in 1786. The name of the fly family was therefore revised, with some authors calling it Otitidae until Ulidiidae was settled on as standard. The genus itself was found to be paraphyletic, and all of its species have been reassigned to other genera, some in the Ulidiidae, and some in other Tephritoid families. In the following list, the species are organized according to the families and genera to which they have been reassigned.
Myennidini is a tribe of picture-winged flies in the family Ulidiidae.
Ulidiini is a tribe of picture-winged flies in the family Ulidiidae that live in the arid and sub arid regions of the Palaearctic. There are three genera and around 100 species within the tribe. The tribe was first named in 1835; its type genus is Ulidia.
Cephaliini is a tribe of picture-winged flies in the family Ulidiidae.
Pseudodyscrasis scutellaris is a species of ulidiid or picture-winged fly in the genus Myennis of the family Ulidiidae.
Neodyscrasis is a genus of fly in the family Ulidiidae.
