Rhagio dichromaticus
Rhagio dichromaticus is a species of snipe fly described by J.G. Chillcott in 1965. It is distinguished from congeners by its extremely dark coloration. The species was described from Louisiana and is one of three new species recognized in Chillcott's revision of eastern Nearctic Rhagio species. As a member of the family Rhagionidae, it belongs to a group of predatory or scavenging flies whose larvae typically inhabit moist soil or decaying organic matter.
