Cooka aterrima
Cooka aterrima is a species of minute black scavenger fly in the family Scatopsidae, described by Melander in 1916. As a member of the tribe Swammerdamellini, it belongs to a group of small, dark-colored dipterans commonly found in decaying organic matter. The species epithet "aterrima" (Latin for "very black") refers to its dark coloration. Scatopsid flies are generally poorly studied, and specific biological details for this species remain limited.
