Guides
Anthomyza variegata
Anthomyza variegata is a species of small fly in the family Anthomyzidae, a family of acalyptrate Diptera. The species was originally described by Loew in 1863 under the basionym Anthophilina variegata. Anthomyzid flies are generally associated with decaying plant matter and fungi. The specific epithet 'variegata' suggests variable or patterned coloration, though detailed morphological descriptions are sparse in available literature. The family Anthomyzidae is a small group of flies with limited ecological documentation.
Anthomyza vulgaris
Anthomyza vulgaris is a species of small fly in the family Anthomyzidae, described by Roháček & Barber in 2016. The family Anthomyzidae comprises minute to small flies typically associated with wetland and riparian habitats. Species in this genus are generally poorly known ecologically, with limited published information on their biology and behavior.
Arganthomyza vittipennis
Arganthomyza vittipennis is a small fly species in the family Anthomyzidae, originally described by Walker in 1857. It is currently classified as a synonym of Ischnomyia albicosta based on GBIF taxonomy, though iNaturalist maintains it as a valid species under Arganthomyza. The genus Arganthomyza comprises minute flies associated with wetland and marsh habitats. This species has been documented in the Nearctic region with limited observational records.
Ischnomyia albicosta
Ischnomyia albicosta is a species of small fly in the family Anthomyzidae, a group of phytophagous flies associated with monocotyledonous plants. The species was described by Francis Walker in 1849. Anthomyzidae are generally slender flies with reduced wing venation, though specific diagnostic features for I. albicosta are not well documented in accessible literature.
Mumetopia occipitalis
Mumetopia occipitalis is a species of true fly in the family Anthomyzidae, described by Melander in 1913. The genus Mumetopia is a small group within Anthomyzidae, a family of small, slender flies associated with decaying plant matter and fungal substrates. Information on the biology and ecology of this species is limited.
Stiphrosoma
Stiphrosoma is a genus of small flies in the family Anthomyzidae, established by Czerny in 1928. The genus contains at least 14 recognized species, including the type species S. sabulosum and 13 species described from the New World. A revised generic diagnosis was established in 2005 to accommodate all known species. The genus exhibits holarctic distribution, with some species showing wing polymorphism.
Stiphrosoma artum
Stiphrosoma artum is a small fly species in the family Anthomyzidae, described from the northern Great Plains of North America. It is one of 13 new species described in a 2005 revision of New World Stiphrosoma. The species exhibits wing polymorphism, with both fully winged and reduced-wing individuals documented.
Stiphrosoma pectinatum
Stiphrosoma pectinatum is a species of small fly in the family Anthomyzidae, described as new to science by Roháček & Barber in 2005. It is one of 14 New World species revised in the 2005 taxonomic treatment, distinguished by specific male and female genitalic structures. The species occurs in eastern North America from Canada through the eastern United States.
