Tritoxa is a genus of picture-winged flies in the family Ulidiidae. [1]
There are currently 7 described species in Tritoxa: [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 detritivore. 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 genus Neacomys, also known as bristly mice because of their spiny fur, includes several species of rodents in the tribe Oryzomyini of family Cricetidae. It is most closely related to Oligoryzomys, Oreoryzomys, and Microryzomys. Neacomys species are mainly found in the Amazon basin, but N. pictus occurs in Panama and N. tenuipes in montane Colombia.
The Richardiidae are a family of Diptera in the superfamily Tephritoidea.
Acidogona is a genus of tephritid or fruit flies in the family Tephritidae.
Stenopa is a genus of tephritid or fruit flies in the family Tephritidae.
Ceroxys is a genus of picture-winged flies in the family Ulidiidae.
Dorycera is a genus of picture-winged flies in the family Ulidiidae.
Melieria is a genus of picture-winged fly in the family Ulidiidae.
Otites is a genus of picture-winged fly in the family Ulidiidae.
Physiphora is a genus of flies in the family Ulidiidae.
Tritoxa cuneata is a species of picture-winged fly in the genus Tritoxa of the family Ulidiidae.
Tritoxa incurva is a species of picture-winged fly in the genus Tritoxa of the family Ulidiidae.
Tritoxa flexa is a species of picture-winged fly in the genus Tritoxa of the family Ulidiidae.
Asyndetus is a genus of flies in the family Dolichopodidae. There are more than 100 species described for the genus, distributed worldwide.
Herina is a genus of flies in the family Ulidiidae. It is possibly the largest genus in the family.
Rhamphomyia is a genus of dance flies, in the fly family Empididae.
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.
Callopistromyia is a genus of picture-winged flies in the family Ulidiidae.
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.
