Elliponeura debilis
Elliponeura debilis is a species of frit fly in the family Chloropidae, first described by Loew in 1869. The genus Elliponeura belongs to the tribe Diplotoxini within the subfamily Chloropinae. Chloropid flies are generally small, often yellowish or greenish, and many species are associated with grasses and cereal crops.
Hippelates dorsalis
Hippelates dorsalis is a small fly in the family Chloropidae (grass flies or frit flies), described by Loew in 1869. Members of the genus Hippelates are commonly known as eye gnats due to their habit of hovering around the eyes and other moist facial areas of humans and animals. The specific epithet 'dorsalis' refers to a dorsal (back) characteristic, though the precise morphological feature referenced is not detailed in available sources. Like other chloropids, this species likely has a compact body and reduced wing venation typical of the family.
Psila levis
Psila levis is a species of rust fly in the family Psilidae, described by Loew in 1869. It belongs to the genus Psila, which includes flies commonly known as carrot rust flies or rust flies due to their association with umbelliferous plants. The species is part of the diverse order Diptera and is found in the Holarctic region.
Rhopalopterum carbonarium
Rhopalopterum carbonarium is a small fly species in the family Chloropidae (frit flies or grass flies), described by Hermann Loew in 1869. Members of this genus are known for their distinctive wing venation and reduced chaetotaxy. As with many Chloropidae, this species likely inhabits grassland and meadow environments, though specific ecological details remain poorly documented in the scientific literature.
Trigonometopus vittatus
Trigonometopus vittatus is a species of true fly in the family Lauxaniidae, described by Friedrich Hermann Loew in 1869. The species epithet 'vittatus' refers to a striped or banded appearance. As a member of Lauxaniidae, it belongs to a family of small to medium-sized flies commonly known as lauxaniid flies. Very little specific biological information has been published for this particular species.
