Bucephalina megacephala
Bucephalina megacephala is a species of dung fly in the family Scathophagidae, described by Loew in 1870. The genus name refers to the enlarged head structure characteristic of this group. As a member of Scathophagidae, it belongs to a family commonly known as dung flies or predatory dung flies, which are primarily associated with decaying organic matter. The specific epithet 'megacephala' (meaning 'large-headed') indicates a prominent morphological feature of this species.
Chyliza notata
Cordilura munda
Cordilura munda is a species of dung fly in the family Scathophagidae, first described by Friedrich Hermann Loew in 1870. The species belongs to the tribe Cordilurini within the subfamily Scathophaginae. As a member of this family, it is associated with dung and decaying organic matter habitats. Specific ecological details remain poorly documented in published literature.
Docosia dichroa
Docosia dichroa is a species of fungus gnat in the family Mycetophilidae, first described by German entomologist Hermann Loew in 1870. The species belongs to the subfamily Leiinae and tribe Leiini, placing it among the more derived lineages of fungus gnats. As with other members of Mycetophilidae, the larvae likely develop in association with fungi, though specific life history details remain poorly documented.
Loxocera collaris
Loxocera collaris is a species of rust fly in the family Psilidae, first described by Loew in 1870. The genus Loxocera is characterized by distinctive head morphology with elongated faces. Like other psilids, this species is associated with plant hosts, though specific biological details remain poorly documented. The species is currently accepted under the name Loxocera collaris, though it was previously classified as Imantimyia collaris.
Macrocera clara
Macrocera clara is a species of fungus gnat in the family Keroplatidae, described by Loew in 1870. Like other members of this family, it belongs to a group of small, delicate flies whose larvae typically inhabit moist environments and feed on fungal mycelia. The genus Macrocera contains numerous species that are often challenging to distinguish without close examination. Available records indicate limited observational data, with 28 documented observations on iNaturalist.
