Xenochaetina muscaria
Xenochaetina muscaria is a species of small fly in the family Lauxaniidae, originally described by Loew in 1861. The species is currently treated as a synonym of Xenochaetina flavipennis. Records in the Global Biodiversity Information Facility (GBIF) indicate this taxon has been documented from multiple localities in Brazil, including the states of Bahia, Roraima, and São Paulo. As a member of Lauxaniidae, it belongs to a family of acalyptrate flies commonly known as lauxaniid flies, though specific biological details for this particular species remain poorly documented in available literature.
Xenopterella beameri
Xenopterella beameri is a species of fly in the family Lauxaniidae, described by Steyskal in 1965. The genus Xenopterella is a small group within this family of small to medium-sized flies commonly known as lauxaniid flies. Very little has been documented about the specific biology or ecology of this particular species.
