Rhinophoridae
Woodlouse Flies
Rhinophoridae is a small family of calyptrate flies (Diptera) comprising 33 genera and approximately 177 species. The family is distinguished by a highly specialized life history: larvae are obligate parasitoids of terrestrial isopods (woodlice), a feeding strategy unique among all insects. Adults lack morphological autapomorphies and are difficult to identify without examination of male terminalia or first-instar larvae. The group was historically considered primarily Palaearctic in distribution, but recent sampling has revealed substantial diversity in tropical and southern hemisphere regions.
Scotoleon
antlions
Scotoleon is a genus of antlions (family Myrmeleontidae, order Neuroptera) containing more than 20 described species. Adult Scotoleon are delicate, slender insects with lacy wings that superficially resemble damselflies but possess short, thick, clubbed antennae. Males frequently exhibit a much longer abdomen tipped with bracket-like claspers. The genus was established by Banks in 1913.
