Swammerdamella sagittata
Swammerdamella sagittata is a species of minute black scavenger fly in the family Scatopsidae, described by Cook in 1956. Members of this family are small, dark-colored flies typically associated with decaying organic matter. The specific epithet "sagittata" (arrow-shaped) likely refers to a morphological feature of the species. Scatopsid flies are generally poorly studied and inconspicuous, though they play roles in nutrient cycling in various ecosystems.
