Stictomyia
Stictomyia is a small genus of picture-winged flies (family Ulidiidae) containing two described species. The genus is notable for its highly unusual morphology and ecology, particularly in Stictomyia longicornis, which exhibits beetle-like appearance and strong association with cacti. These flies are among the more aberrant members of the Ulidiidae, departing significantly from the typical wing-patterned, active-flying form of most picture-winged flies.
