Rhamphomyia luteiventris
Rhamphomyia luteiventris is a species of dance fly in the family Empididae, first described by Loew in 1864. As a member of the genus Rhamphomyia, it belongs to a diverse group of predatory flies known for their distinctive courtship behaviors. The species epithet 'luteiventris' refers to a yellowish or orange-yellow abdomen. Like other empidid flies, it is presumed to be predatory in both adult and larval stages, though specific biological details for this species remain poorly documented.
