Ulidia is a genus of picture-winged flies in the family Ulidiidae. [1] [2] [3]

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.
Urophora is a genus of tephritid or fruit flies in the family Tephritidae.
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, containing over 30 species worldwide.
Seioptera vibrans is a species of ulidiid or picture-winged fly in the genus Seioptera of the family Ulidiidae.
Pseudotephritis corticalis is a species of picture-winged fly in the genus Pseudotephritis of the family Ulidiidae
Ulidia albidipennis is a species of ulidiid or picture-winged fly in the genus Ulidia of the family Ulidiidae.
Tetanops is a genus of picture-winged flies in the family Ulidiidae.
Herina is a genus of flies in the family Ulidiidae. It is possibly the largest genus in the family.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Myennidini is a tribe of picture-winged flies in the family Ulidiidae.
Ulidiini is a tribe of picture-winged flies in the family Ulidiidae that live in the arid and sub arid regions of the Palaearctic. There are three genera and around 100 species within the tribe. The tribe was first named in 1835; its type genus is Ulidia.
Cephaliini is a tribe of picture-winged flies in the family Ulidiidae.
Pseudotephritina cribellum is a species of ulidiid or picture-winged fly in the genus Myennis of the family Ulidiidae.
