Arthroceras
Arthroceras is a genus of snipe flies (family Rhagionidae) established by Williston in 1886. It is the sole genus in the subfamily Arthrocerinae. Species range from 4.5 to 13 mm in body length and occur in both the Palearctic and Neotropical regions.
Arthroceras fulvicorne
Arthroceras fulvicorne is a species of snipe fly described by Nagatomi in 1966. It belongs to the family Rhagionidae and is classified within the subfamily Arthrocerinae. Three subspecies have been recognized: A. f. fulvicorne, A. f. nigricapite, and A. f. subsolanum. The species is known from a small number of observations, indicating it is either rare or underrecorded.
Arthroceras pollinosum
Arthroceras pollinosum is a species of snipe fly in the family Rhagionidae, first described by Samuel Wendell Williston in 1886. It belongs to the subfamily Arthrocerinae, a group characterized by distinctive antennal modifications. The species is known from very few observations, with only five records documented on iNaturalist as of the available data. Its specific epithet 'pollinosum' likely refers to a pollinose (dusty or pollen-covered) appearance, a common trait in this genus.
