Dasyopa latifrons
Dasyopa latifrons is a species of frit fly in the family Chloropidae, first described by Loew in 1872. It belongs to the subfamily Oscinellinae and tribe Siphonellini. The genus Dasyopa is part of a diverse group of small flies commonly known as grass flies or frit flies, many of which are associated with grasses and sedges. The specific epithet 'latifrons' refers to the broad frons (frontal region of the head), a characteristic morphological feature of this species.
Leptogaster brevicornis
Leptogaster brevicornis is a species of robber fly in the family Asilidae, described by Loew in 1872. Robber flies are predatory dipterans known for their agile flight and aggressive hunting behavior. The genus Leptogaster comprises small, slender robber flies often found in grassy or brushy habitats. Specific ecological and behavioral details for this species remain poorly documented.
Neodiplotoxa nigricans
Neodiplotoxa nigricans is a species of frit fly in the family Chloropidae, described by Loew in 1872. It belongs to the subfamily Chloropinae and tribe Diplotoxini. Members of this genus are small flies typically associated with grassland and wetland habitats. The specific epithet 'nigricans' refers to the dark or blackish coloration characteristic of this species.
Paraclius pumilio
Paraclius pumilio is a species of long-legged fly (Dolichopodidae) described by Loew in 1872. It belongs to the genus Paraclius, a group of predatory flies within the subfamily Dolichopodinae. The species has been documented through limited iNaturalist observations, suggesting it is either rare, under-recorded, or restricted in range. As with other dolichopodids, it likely occupies moist habitats near water or vegetation.
Pseudoleria pectinata
Pseudoleria pectinata is a species of fly in the family Heleomyzidae, a group of small to medium-sized flies commonly known as heleomyzid flies or lesser dung flies. The species was described by Hermann Loew in 1872. Heleomyzidae are typically associated with decaying organic matter and are found in various terrestrial habitats.
