Pseudotephritis corticalis is a species of picture-winged fly in the genus Pseudotephritis of the family Ulidiidae [3] [4]
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 Tephritoidea are a superfamily of flies. It has over 7,800 species, the majority of them in family Tephritidae.

Euxesta eluta is a species of ulidiid or picture-winged fly in the genus Euxesta of the family Ulidiidae. It was described by Hermann Loew in 1868. It feeds on sweet corn in Santa Fe, Argentina. The species breed from spring to late fall by depositing their eggs in protected corn maizes.

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.

The peacock fly is a species of picture-winged flies in the genus Callopistromyia of the family Ulidiidae. They are native to and widespread across North America. This species has recently been introduced accidentally to Europe, and is known from Switzerland, Germany, the Netherlands, France, Slovenia, Slovakia, Hungary, Czechia, Austria, Belgium, Poland, Ukraine, Romania and Croatia.
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.
