Taeniapterinae is a subfamily of flies in the family Micropezidae. There are at least 9 described species in Taeniapterinae. [1] [2]
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 Micropezidae are a moderate-sized family of acalyptrate muscoid flies in the insect order Diptera, comprising about 500 species in about 50 genera and five subfamilies worldwide,. They are most diverse in tropical and subtropical habitats, especially in the Neotropical Region.
Superfamily Tabanoidea are insects in the order Diptera.
Ochthera is a genus of flies in the family of shore flies (Ephydridae). The genus is distinctive because of the swollen raptorial forelegs. The larvae are predaceous on midge larvae while the adults feed on midges and mosquitoes. The genus is found around the world with about 37 species. The species Ochthera chalybescens has been shown to prey on African malaria vectors.
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.
Beridinae is a subfamily of soldier flies in the family Stratiomyidae.
Rainieria is a genus of stilt-legged flies in the family Micropezidae. There are at least 20 described species in Rainieria.
Tabaninae is a subfamily in the family Tabanidae commonly known as horse flies. There are more than 3000 described species in Tabaninae.
Phorinae is a subfamily of flies in the family Phoridae. There are at least 90 described species in Phorinae.
Tetanocerini is a tribe of flies in the family Sciomyzidae. There are more than 400 described species in the tribe.
Taeniaptera is a genus of stilt-legged flies in the family Micropezidae. There are at least 3 described species in Taeniaptera.
Oscinellinae is a subfamily of frit flies in the family Chloropidae. There are at least 40 genera and 180 described species in Oscinellinae.
Calobatina geometra is a species of stilt-legged flies in the family Micropezidae.
Calobatina is a genus of stilt-legged flies in the family Micropezidae.
Grallipeza is a genus of stilt-legged flies in the family Micropezidae. There are at least 40 described species in Grallipeza.
Mosillus is a genus of shore flies in the family Ephydridae.
Glyphidops is a genus of cactus flies in the family Neriidae.
Pangoniinae is a subfamily of horse-flies in the order Diptera, containing at seven tribes and over 40 genera.
Telostylus is a genus of flies in the family Neriidae.
