Nannodioctria
Nannodioctria is a genus of robber flies (family Asilidae) established by Wilcox and Martin in 1942. It is currently treated as a synonym of Dioctria, specifically as the subgenus Dioctria (Nannodioctria). The genus belongs to the subfamily Dioctriinae, a group of small, often slender robber flies. Very few observations or specimens have been documented, with only a single iNaturalist observation recorded.
Nannodioctria seminole
A small robber fly in the subfamily Dioctriinae. Members of this genus are among the smallest asilids, typically measuring under 10 mm in length. The specific epithet 'seminole' suggests a connection to Florida or southeastern North America, where the Seminole people historically resided. The genus Nannodioctria contains diminutive predatory flies that hunt in vegetation.
