Sylvicola is a genus of wood gnats in the family Anisopodidae. There are more than 80 described species in Sylvicola. [1] [2] [3]
These 89 species belong to the genus Sylvicola:
Chrysopilus is common, worldwide genus of predatory snipe flies. There are approximately 300 species in the genus, including fossil members that are sometimes found in amber.
Rhagio is a worldwide genus of predatory snipe flies. Several species in this genus are referred to as downlooker or down-looker flies because they sometimes perch on tree trunks in a head-down position. There are approximately 170 species. They can be distinguished from other rhagionids by the open anal cell on the wings and the lack of a kidney-shaped arista.
Dicranomyia is a genus of crane fly in the family Limoniidae. Larvae are mostly aquatic or semi-aquatic, with an exception found in a single Hawaiian Islands species which has a leaf-mining larva.
Hexatoma is a genus of crane fly in the family Limoniidae.
Nephrotoma is a genus of crane flies.
Pselliophora is a genus of true crane fly.
Milesia is a genus of very large hoverflies, which mimic social wasps. For example, the European species Milesia crabroniformis is a convincing mimic of the hornet species Vespa crabro. Milesia are predominantly Palaeotropical in distribution almost entirely Oriental.
The Syrphini are a tribe of hoverflies.
Solva is a fly genus in the family Xylomyidae, the "wood soldier flies".
