Tetanops luridipennis
Loew, 1873
Tetanops luridipennis is a picture-winged fly in the Ulidiidae, originally described by Loew in 1873. The Tetanops comprises approximately six , with larvae that develop in the roots of living plants—a trait unusual among ulidiids, which are typically associated with decaying organic matter rather than living plant tissue. The specific epithet "luridipennis" refers to the yellowish or sallow coloration of the wings.
