Amphipogon hyperboreus
Amphipogon hyperboreus is a small fly in the family Piophilidae, originally described as Ambopogon hyperboreus by Greene in 1919. The genus Amphipogon belongs to the cheese skipper family, though specific ecological details for this species remain poorly documented. It is known from a small number of observations and appears to have a northern distribution pattern suggested by its specific epithet 'hyperboreus' (meaning 'beyond the north').
