Hippelates proboscideus
frit fly
Hippelates proboscideus is a small frit fly in the family Chloropidae, described by Williston in 1896. The species has been documented in Brazil (Bahia, Ceará) and Hawaii, indicating a broad geographic spread possibly facilitated by human activity. Like other members of Hippelates, it belongs to a genus known for eye-frequenting behavior in some species, though specific habits for this species remain poorly documented. The single iNaturalist observation suggests it is rarely encountered or underreported.
