Calotarsa pallipes
flat-footed fly
Calotarsa pallipes is a species of flat-footed fly in the family Platypezidae. It belongs to a small family of Diptera characterized by distinctive morphological features. The species was first described by Loew in 1866. Like other members of Platypezidae, it is likely associated with decaying organic matter, though specific ecological details remain poorly documented.
Grallipeza nebulosa
stilt-legged fly
Grallipeza nebulosa is a species of stilt-legged fly in the family Micropezidae. The species was originally described by Loew in 1866 under the name Calobata nebulosa. Stilt-legged flies in this family are characterized by their elongated legs and distinctive body proportions.
Lasiopogon bivittatus
Lasiopogon bivittatus is a species of robber fly (Diptera: Asilidae) in the bivittatus section of the genus Lasiopogon. The species was described by Loew in 1866 and has been the subject of cytological studies examining spermatogenesis. Recent taxonomic revision of the bivittatus section included redescription of this species and molecular phylogenetic analysis placing it within a clade of western Nearctic Lasiopogon species.
Pipiza femoralis
White-haired Pithead
Pipiza femoralis is a species of syrphid fly (hoverfly) first described by Loew in 1866. It belongs to the tribe Pipizini, a group of small to medium-sized hoverflies. The common name "White-haired Pithead" has been recorded for this species. As with other members of the genus Pipiza, it is likely associated with decaying organic matter and aphid honeydew as adult food sources, though specific ecological details remain poorly documented.
