Mydaea flavicornis
Mydaea flavicornis is a species of true fly in the family Muscidae, described by Daniel William Coquillett in 1902. The species epithet "flavicornis" (yellow-horned) refers to a distinctive yellow coloration of the antennae. As a member of the subfamily Mydaeinae, it belongs to a group of muscid flies commonly known as dung flies or stable flies. The genus Mydaea contains numerous species distributed primarily in the Holarctic region, though individual species distributions vary.
Oestrophasia calva
Oestrophasia calva is a species of tachinid fly in the family Tachinidae, subfamily Dexiinae, tribe Dufouriini. The species was described by Coquillett in 1902. Tachinid flies are parasitoids, with larvae typically developing inside other insects. This species occurs in North America across Canada, the United States, and Mexico.
Parepalpus flavidus
Parepalpus flavidus is a species of bristle fly in the family Tachinidae, described by Coquillett in 1902. It is known from North America. As a tachinid fly, it is likely a parasitoid, though specific host records for this species are not documented in the provided sources.
Trisapromyza vittigera
Trisapromyza vittigera is a small fly species in the family Lauxaniidae, originally described by Coquillett in 1902 as Sapromyza vittigera. It belongs to a genus of lauxaniid flies characterized by distinctive morphological features. The species epithet "vittigera" refers to vitta (striped) markings, suggesting patterned wing or body coloration. Like other members of Lauxaniidae, it is likely associated with decaying organic matter and forest floor habitats, though specific ecological details remain poorly documented.
Trypeta fractura
Trypeta fractura is a species of fruit fly in the family Tephritidae, first described by Coquillett in 1902. The genus Trypeta belongs to the subfamily Trypetinae, a group characterized by distinctive wing patterns used in species identification. As with other tephritid fruit flies, T. fractura likely exhibits the family's typical wing patterning, though specific details about its biology remain poorly documented in available literature.
