Elmohardyia
Elmohardyia is a genus of big-headed flies in the family Pipunculidae, established by Rafael in 1987. The genus contains approximately 60 described species distributed primarily in the Neotropical region, with most species described from Brazil. Species within this genus are characterized by distinctive morphological features of the male genitalia, which form the basis for species-level identification. The genus was named in honor of the dipterist D. Elmo Hardy, who contributed extensively to the taxonomy of Pipunculidae.
