Coboldia
minute black scavenger flies
Coboldia is a genus of minute black scavenger flies in the family Scatopsidae, established by Melander in 1916. The genus is best known from Coboldia fuscipes, a small fly 2–3 mm in body length associated with decomposing organic matter and fungal substrates. Species in this genus occur in the Palearctic region and have been documented in Scandinavia (Denmark, Norway, Sweden) and Korea, where C. fuscipes is a recognized pest of oyster mushroom cultivation.
