Tetanops is a genus of picture-winged flies in the family Ulidiidae. [1]
Others:
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.
Ceroxys is a genus of picture-winged flies in the family Ulidiidae.
Melieria is a genus of picture-winged fly in the family Ulidiidae.
Physiphora is a genus of flies in the family Ulidiidae, containing over 30 species worldwide.
Ulidia is a genus of picture-winged flies in the family Ulidiidae.
Sympycnus is a genus of flies in the family Dolichopodidae.
Herina is a genus of flies in the family Ulidiidae. It is possibly the largest genus in the family.
Empis is a genus of dance fly found in the fly family Empididae.
Minettia is a genus of small flies of the family Lauxaniidae. They have almost worldwide distribution, is one of the most species rich genera of the family with more than 120 described species. The Palaearctic is the most diverse with some 56 described species. The genus is divided into 3 subgenera.
Timia is a genus of flies in the family Ulidiidae, which is difficult to separate from the genus Ulidia.
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.
Chamaepsila is a genus of flies in the family Psilidae.
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.
Meiosimyza is a genus of small flies of the family Lauxaniidae.
Pherbellia is a genus of flies in the family Sciomyzidae, the marsh flies or snail-killing flies. They occur throughout the world, except for the Subantarctic region.
Sepedon is a genus of flies in the family Sciomyzidae, the marsh flies or snail-killing flies.
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.
Tetanocera is a genus of marsh flies, insects in the family Sciomyzidae. There are at least 50 described species in Tetanocera.
Neoitamus is a genus of robber flies in the family Asilidae. There are at least 60 described species in Neoitamus.
Cephaliini is a tribe of picture-winged flies in the family Ulidiidae.
