Trichobius is a genus of bat flies in the family Streblidae. There are more than 60 described species in Trichobius. [1] [2] [3]
These 69 species belong to the genus Trichobius:
The Streblidae are a family of flies in the superfamily Hippoboscoidea, and together with their relatives the Nycteribiidae, are known as bat flies. They are winged or wingless ectoparasites of bats, and often have long legs. They appear to be host-specific, with different species of bat flies occurring only on particular species of bat hosts, sometimes with multiple species of flies sharing a host bat.
Xylota is a Holarctic genus of hoverflies similar in structure to the related genera Chalcosyrphus and Brachypalpoides. As the larvae are saprophytic they're usually found in rotting wood. The adult flies are generally associated with woodland and woodland edges and can often be seen running over the upper sides of leaves. Unlike other syrphids the adults of many species rarely visit flowers preferring instead to gather pollen from leaf surfaces. There are over 100 described species of which 12 can be found in Europe. Seven species have been recorded in Britain. Identification of species has been difficult and identification by photographs is risky.
Basilia is a genus of bat flies in the family Nycteribiidae.
Eupeodes, the aphideater flies, are a genus of moderate hoverflies in the family Syrphidae. They are distributed worldwide. They are black with yellow markings and can be easily confused with other genera in the Syrphini tribe. Larvae feed on a wide variety of aphids. The adults feed on nectar and pollen as sources of energy and protein, respectively, and often hover over the plants they visit.
Platycheirus is a large genus of hoverflies. They are also called sedgesitters.
The Milesiini is a large and diverse tribe of hoverflies. They mimic wasps or hornets.
Ocyptamus is a large and diverse genus of over 200 species of hoverfly mostly found in the Neotropical region. It is likely that many of these species will be discovered to be synonyms though many others await description.
Saprininae is a subfamily of clown beetles in the family Histeridae. There are more than 50 genera and 800 described species in Saprininae.
Carcinops is a genus of clown beetles in the family Histeridae. There are at least 50 described species in Carcinops.

Atholus is a genus of clown beetles in the family Histeridae. There are more than 70 described species in Atholus.
Trichobius corynorhini is a species of bat fly in the family Streblidae.
Bacanius is a genus of clown beetles in the family Histeridae. There are more than 70 described species in Bacanius.
Cordilura is a genus of dung flies in the family Scathophagidae. There are more than 90 described species in Cordilura.
Neogriphoneura is a primarily neotropical genus of flies in the family Lauxaniidae. One species, N. sordida, ranges into the Nearctic. There are about 11 described species in Neogriphoneura.
