Aphria ocypterata is a species of bristle fly in the family Tachinidae. It was described by Townsend in 1891. As a tachinid fly, it is presumed to be a parasitoid, though specific host records for this species are not documented. It is found in North America.
Clausicella
Clausicella is a genus of tachinid flies (Diptera: Tachinidae) established by Rondani in 1856. The genus contains at least 18 described species distributed across the Americas, with records from North America through South America. As members of the tribe Leskiini within subfamily Tachininae, these flies are parasitoids, though specific host associations remain poorly documented for most species.
Drepanoglossa
Drepanoglossa is a genus of tachinid flies established by Townsend in 1891. The genus contains at least three described species, all parasitoid flies that develop within other insects. These bristle flies are part of the diverse Tachinidae family, one of the largest families of Diptera. The genus name derives from Greek roots suggesting a hooked or sickle-shaped tongue or mouthpart structure.
Leskia
Leskia is a genus of tachinid flies established by Robineau-Desvoidy in 1830. The genus contains approximately 40 described species distributed across multiple continents. As members of the tribe Leskiini, these flies are parasitoids, though specific host associations remain poorly documented for most species. The genus exhibits considerable diversity in the Afrotropical region, with multiple species described by Emden in 1960.
