Coenosia Johnsoni
''Coenosia'' is a very large genus of true flies of the family Muscidae. ''Coenosia'' are known as tiger flies since they are predators and hunt many kinds of insects and other invertebrates. In Denmark, fungi ''Strongwellsea tigrinae'' and ''Strongwellsea acerosa'' (from the '' Strongwellsea'' genus, order Entomophthorales) infect the flying hosts from the genus ''Coenosia''. Including species '' Coenosia tigrina'' and '' Coenosia testacea''. While most fungi spore once the host is dead, with ''Strongwellsea'', the host continues to live for days, carrying out normal activities and socialising with other flies while the fungus consumes its genitals, fat reserves, reproductive organs and finally its muscle, all the while shooting out thousands of spores on to other individuals.

John Russell Malloch
John Russell Malloch (16 November 1875 – 1963) was a Scotland, Scottish Entomology, entomologist who specialised in Fly, Diptera and Hymenoptera. Malloch was born at Milton of Campsie in Stirlingshire, Scotland. His widowed father had one son, James Malloch (born 1873) when he married John Russell's mother, Margaret Stirling, on 30 August 1875. He and several others of his family worked at a textile factory in the area, but he spent his spare time collecting insects in the fields. His first published paper (1897) describes a type of migrating butterfly. In 1903 Malloch sold his extensive collection to the Glasgow Museum. He continued to collect, but began to concentrate on Diptera from that time forward. Before emigrating in 1910, he donated the remainder of his collection (13,000 flies) to the Royal Scottish Museum. Little is known about Malloch's education. He listed a university degree from Glasgow on his job applications in the USA, but this has not been verified by univer ...

''Coenosia algivora'', also known as Hutton's tiger fly, is a species of fly endemic to New Zealand. Recorded from the Type locality: Christchurch (Hutton 1901), and in the Wellington region, Polhill Reserve. Description Body yellowish with distinctive parallel dark stripes on thorax and prominent triangular patches on upper abdomen. Thorax pale yellowish-grey, with indistinct longitudinal dark bands. Abdomen pale yellowish-grey. A large rather darker triangular mark covers the centres of the second and third segments, its broad base being on the posterior border of the latter segment. The fourth segment has three indistinct dark spots; the fifth segment is irregularly marked. Legs dark-grey. Halteres brown. Ecology ''Coenosia'' is one of the most speciose genera of muscid flies in the world, with more than 360 known species. They are distributed throughout all biogeographic regions and the adults are considered to be obligate carnivores. References Hutton, F.W. 1901 [19 ...

Paul Stein (entomologist)
Paul Stein (1852–1921) was a German museum curator and entomologist. He specialised in Diptera especially the family Anthomyiidae. In this group he studied the world fauna describing many new genera and species. Stein worked with Theodor Becker, Mario Bezzi and Kálmán Kertész on ''Katalog der Paläarktischen dipteren'' (1903 onwards) published in Budapest from 1903. His collection is in the Museum für Naturkunde in Berlin Berlin ( ; ) is the Capital of Germany, capital and largest city of Germany, by both area and List of cities in Germany by population, population.
