Leucophora apivora
Leucophora apivora is a species of root-maggot fly in the family Anthomyiidae, first described by Aldrich in 1919. The specific epithet 'apivora' suggests an association with bees (Apis), though the nature of this relationship remains to be confirmed. As a member of Anthomyiidae, it belongs to a family whose larvae are primarily root-feeders or saprophagous. Published records for this species are sparse, with minimal observational data available.
