Hesperus
Hesperus is a genus of rove beetles (Staphylinidae) established by Fauvel in 1874. Species in this genus are found in association with rice agroecosystems, where they interact with other organisms in these agricultural habitats. The genus belongs to the tribe Philonthina within the subfamily Staphylininae. At least one species, Hesperus barrioni, has been formally described from the Philippines.
Oscinellinae
grass flies
Oscinellinae is a subfamily of frit flies (family Chloropidae) comprising at least 40 genera and approximately 180 described species. Members are commonly known as grass flies and are associated primarily with monocotyledonous plants, with some species acting as secondary invaders of other plants. The subfamily has been documented engaging in kleptoparasitic behavior, feeding on fluids from prey captured by predatory insects. Species are distributed across multiple continents with documented records from Russia, Argentina, and other regions.
