Dictya disjuncta
Dictya disjuncta is a poorly known marsh fly (Diptera: Sciomyzidae) described by Orth in 1991. The species remained obscure until its rediscovery, which prompted the first comprehensive description of all life stages including egg, larval instars, puparium, and adult. Like other sciomyzids, it is associated with marshy or wetland habitats. The detailed life cycle description represents a significant contribution to knowledge of this rarely encountered species.
Dictya texensis
Dictya texensis is a species of marsh fly (family Sciomyzidae) described by Curran in 1932. Members of the genus Dictya are recognized by their distinctive wing venation patterns. The family Sciomyzidae comprises predatory or parasitic flies whose larvae typically develop in aquatic or semi-aquatic snails. This species is poorly documented in public sources, with minimal observational records available.
