Lauxaniidae
The Lauxaniidae are a family of acalyptrate flies. They generally are small flies (length 7 mm or less) with large compound eyes that often are brightly coloured in life, sometimes with characteristic horizontal stripes, such as in '' Cestrotus'' species. Many species have variegated patterns on their wings, but in contrast they generally do not have variegated bodies, except for genera such as ''Cestrotus'', whose camouflage mimics lichens or the texture of granitic rocks. Some 1800 species of Lauxaniidae have been described and they comprise some 126 genera. The family has a cosmopolitan distribution, most of the species occurring in tropical regions of Asia and the Americas; relatively few species occur in Afrotropical regions, and Lauxaniid species diversity declines strongly towards the more temperate regions; for example fewer than 200 European species have been described. Most species inhabit forests, where the adults usually are found sitting on leaves of the unders ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Calliopum
'' Calliopum'' is a genus of small flies of the family Lauxaniidae. Description Most, but not all, are luscious black or metallic flies. They are smaller than 5 mm and usually have iridescent eyes. Adults can be found from May until December in meadows and hedge rows. The larvae may be phytophagous or saprophagous, mainly feeding on rotting vegetable matter or mining clover leaves.

Eurychoromyiinae
The broad-headed flies is a subfamily of flies. Until 2010, they were known from only one species based on four specimens and placed in the family Eurychoromyiidae. In 1903, C. A. W. Schnuse, collecting at Sarampiuni in the foothills of the Bolivian Andes, took four specimens, all female, of a fly with a strange broad, flat head. These were described as a new species ''Eurychoromyia mallea'' (''ευρυς'' — broad; ''χορος'' — field; ''μυια'' – fly; ''malleus'' – hammer) by the Austrian entomologist Friedrich Georg Hendel. No specimens have been seen or collected since. Two of the specimens now reside in the Naturhistorisches Museum in Vienna. The other two specimens are in the Staatliches Museum für Tierkunde in Dresden. Hendel rated the species as "an isolated group of acalyptrate muscids". His judgement has been sustained, and they are now recognised as belonging to a distinct family Eurychoromyiidae. No other specimens have ever been identified as belon ...
