Eccoptomera
Eccoptomera is a genus of small flies in the family Heleomyzidae, first described by Loew in 1862. These flies belong to a family commonly known as 'sun flies' or 'heleomyzid flies,' which are often associated with decaying organic matter. The genus is documented from northern European countries including Denmark, Norway, and Sweden. As with many heleomyzid genera, detailed biological information remains limited.
Glyphonyx
Glyphonyx is a genus of click beetles (family Elateridae) containing at least 50 described species. These beetles possess the characteristic clicking mechanism of their family, used to right themselves when overturned. The genus was established by Candèze in 1863 and is widely distributed across North America. Species identification within Glyphonyx generally requires examination of subtle morphological features.
