Laphystia rufiventris
Laphystia rufiventris is a species of robber fly in the family Asilidae, described by Charles Howard Curran in 1931. The specific epithet "rufiventris" refers to the reddish coloration of the abdomen. The genus Laphystia belongs to the subfamily Laphriinae, a group of robber flies characterized by their predatory habits and distinctive morphological features. As with other asilids, this species is presumed to be an active aerial predator of other insects.
Lestomyia strigipes
Lestomyia strigipes is a species of robber fly in the family Asilidae, described by Curran in 1931. As a member of the subfamily Dasypogoninae, it belongs to a diverse group of predatory flies. The genus Lestomyia contains multiple species distributed across various regions. Like other asilids, this species is presumed to be an aerial predator, though specific biological details remain poorly documented.
Psilocurus birdi
Psilocurus birdi is a species of robber fly (family Asilidae) described by Curran in 1931. As a member of this predatory fly family, it likely exhibits the characteristic hunting behavior of asilids, though specific biological details for this species remain poorly documented. The genus Psilocurus contains relatively small, slender robber flies compared to some of their more robust relatives.
