George Mark Malloch Brown, Baron Malloch-Brown is a British diplomat, communications consultant, journalist and former politician who has served as president of Open Society Foundations since 2021. A former member of the Labour Party, he was Minister of State for Africa, Asia and the United Nations from 2007 to 2009.
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 detritivore. 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.
Calliphora is a genus of blow flies, also known as bottle flies, found in most parts of the world, with the highest diversity in Australia. The most widespread species in North America area Calliphora livida, C. vicina, and C. vomitoria.
The Pyrgotidae are an unusual family of flies (Diptera), one of only two families of Cyclorrhapha that lack ocelli. Most species are "picture-winged", as is typical among the Tephritoidea, but unlike other tephritoids, they are endoparasitoids; the females pursue scarab beetles in flight, laying an egg on the beetle's back under the elytra where the beetle cannot reach it. The egg hatches and the fly larva enters the body cavity of the beetle, feeding and eventually killing the host before pupating. In the United States, some species of Pyrgota and Sphecomyiella can be quite common in areas where their host beetles are abundant. Like their host beetles, these flies are primarily nocturnal, and are often attracted to artificial lights.
John Russell Malloch was a Scottish entomologist who specialised in Diptera and Hymenoptera.
Heteria is a genus of parasitic flies in the family Tachinidae. There are about six described species in Heteria.
Ceromya is a genus of tachinid flies in the family Tachinidae, containing the following species:
Peribaea is a genus of flies in the family Tachinidae.
Rutilia is a large genus of medium to large (>20mm) flies in the family Tachinidae native to Australia and the Oriental region, though notably absent from New Zealand. Like the vast majority of tachinid flies, Rutilia species are parasitoids of other insects, specifically Rutilia are known to be parasitoids of late instar larvae of Scarabaeidae.
Senostoma is a genus of parasitoid tachinid flies in the family Tachinidae. Endemic to Australasia, the flies are medium-sized, bristly, and long-legged.
Limnophora is a genus of flies, belonging to the family Muscidae. The flies are characterized by silver bands across their thorax. The tribe Limnophorini is named from the genus.
Actia is a genus of large flies in the family Tachinidae.
Coenosiini is a tribe of flies from the family Muscidae.
The Helosciomyzidae are a small family of flies - 9 genera and 22 species. All are known from the Southern Hemisphere. With the exception of the South American genus Sciogriphoneura, the family occurs in Australia, New Zealand. Little is known of their biology.
The Helcomyzidae are a small family of flies in the Acalyptratae. The larvae feed on kelp and other organic matter washed up on shorelines. Species diversity is highest in New Zealand and south temperate South America. They are sometimes allied with the families Dryomyzidae or Coelopidae.
The Ulidiinae are a subfamily of flies in the family Ulidiidae. Like the Otitinae, 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.
Anagonia is a genus of flies in the family Tachinidae.
Empidinae are a subfamily of empidoid flies. They are mainly predatory flies like most of their relatives, and generally small to medium-sized. Most species are flower visitors and they can be effective pollinators.
Gavin Malloch was a Scottish footballer who played as a left half for Derby County, Sheffield Wednesday, Millwall, Barrow and Morton. He was a member of the Derby team that were runners-up in the 1929–30 Football League campaign, and after switching to that season's champions Wednesday, he was part of the Owls squad when they finished third in 1930–31 and 1931–32, but was no longer a regular by the time they won the FA Cup in 1935, making no contribution to the run.
