Lyroneurus Luteoviridis
''Lyroneurus'' is a genus of flies in the family Dolichopodidae. It includes 17 species distributed in the Neotropical realm. It was formerly treated as a subgenus of ''Diaphorus''; more recently ''Lyroneurus'' has been treated as a synonym of '' Chrysotus'', but Capellari & Amorim (2010) maintains it as a distinct genus noting that ''Chrysotus'' is possibly paraphyletic. Species The species below are named assuming ''Lyroneurus'' is treated as a separate genus: *'' Lyroneurus adustus'' ( Wiedemann, 1830) – Brazil, Uruguay, Paraguay, Argentina *'' Lyroneurus annulatus'' ( Macquart, 1842) – Mexico, Lesser Antilles, Brazil *'' Lyroneurus apicalis'' Becker, 1922 – Argentina, Paraguay *'' Lyroneurus chalybaeus'' Röder, 1892 – Ecuador *'' Lyroneurus coerulescens'' Loew, 1857 – Mexico, Suriname, Ecuador, Argentina *''Lyroneurus curvispina'' (Van Duzee, 1929) – Guatemala, Panama *'' Lyroneurus fratellus'' Becker, 1922 – Colombia, Argentina *'' Lyroneurus laetus'' Becker, ...

Loew's father was a functionary for the Department of Justice of the Duchy of Saxony who later became a ''Geheimer Regierungsrath'' of Prussia.

Dolichopodidae Genera
Dolichopodidae, the long-legged flies, are a large, Cosmopolitan distribution, cosmopolitan family of diptera, true flies with more than 8,000 described species in about 250 genera. The genus ''Dolichopus'' is the most speciose, with some 600 species. Dolichopodidae generally are small flies with large, prominent eyes and a metallic cast to their appearance, though there is considerable variation among the species. Most have long legs, though some do not. In many species, the males have unusually large genitalia which are taxonomically useful in identifying species. Most adults are predation, predatory on other small animals, though some may scavenge or act as kleptoparasitism, kleptoparasites of spiders or other predators. Description Dolichopodidae are a family of flies ranging in size from minute to medium-sized (1mm to 9mm). They have characteristically long and slender legs, though their leg length is not as striking as in families such as the Tipulidae. Their posture ...

John Merton Aldrich
John Merton Aldrich (January 28, 1866 – May 27, 1934) was an American Entomology, entomologist. Aldrich was the Associate Curator of Insects at the United States National Museum. He is considered one of the most prolific entomologists in the study of flies. Biography John Merton Aldrich was born in Rochester, Minnesota on January 28, 1866. When he was fifteen, he moved with his family to a farm in South Dakota. He enrolled at South Dakota State University and graduated in 1888, one year early because the university president wanted to have a graduating class that year. He studied entomology briefly under Otto Lugger at the University of Minnesota and then started working at the South Dakota State Agricultural Experiment Station with the understanding that he would continue to study entomology in the winter. In 1889 he enrolled at Michigan State University and studied with entomologist Albert J. Cook. Cook suggested that he focus his studies on a single order of insects; Aldrich ...
