Scenopinus niger (De Geer, 1776) | |
Scenopinus niger , a 'window fly', is a member of the Scenopinidae family of flies. It is found in the Palearctic. [1] [2]
Scenopinus niger is "a rather small, very black oblong fly. Legs blackish except on the tarsi. Frons rather shining. Eyes of the male widely separated. Hind tibite of the male very much dilated.". [3] It is a minor pest [4]
Flies are insects of the order Diptera, the name being derived from the Greek δι- di- "two", and πτερόν pteron "wing". Insects of this order use only a single pair of wings to fly, the hindwings having evolved into advanced mechanosensory organs known as halteres, which act as high-speed sensors of rotational movement and allow dipterans to perform advanced aerobatics. Diptera is a large order containing an estimated 1,000,000 species including horse-flies, crane flies, hoverflies, mosquitoes and others, although only about 125,000 species have been described.
The Scenopinidae or window flies are a small family of flies (Diptera), distributed worldwide. In buildings, they are often taken at windows, hence the common name window flies.
