Grossoseta
Grossoseta is a genus of flat-footed flies in the family Platypezidae, subfamily Callomyiinae. The genus was established by Kessel & Kirby in 1968 and contains at least two described species: G. johnsoni and G. pacifica. Both species were originally described by Kessel.
Grossoseta pacifica
flat-footed fly
Grossoseta pacifica is a species of flat-footed fly in the family Platypezidae, described by Kessel in 1948. The species was originally described under the genus Platypezina before being transferred to Grossoseta. Platypezidae are a family of true flies (Diptera) commonly known as flat-footed flies due to their distinctive leg structure. The genus Grossoseta is classified within the subfamily Callomyiinae.
