Aphaniosoma
Aphaniosoma is a genus of small flies in the family Chyromyidae, established by Becker in 1903. The genus is particularly diverse in the Eastern Mediterranean and Middle East, with recent taxonomic work describing 19 new species from this region. Species-level identification relies on detailed examination of male genitalia and other subtle morphological characters.
Gymnochiromyia concolor
Gymnochiromyia concolor is a species of fly in the family Chyromyidae, a small family of acalyptrate Diptera commonly known as "dung flies" or "yellow flies." Originally described as Chyromya concolor by Malloch in 1914, it was later transferred to the genus Gymnochiromyia. Members of Chyromyidae are typically associated with decomposing organic matter. The species is known from relatively few observations, with 25 records documented on iNaturalist.
