Macquart-1844
Guides
Gymnoclytia immaculata
Gymnoclytia immaculata is a North American tachinid fly species in the family Tachinidae. As a parasitoid, its larvae develop within host insects rather than feeding independently. The species has been recorded from hosts in both Lepidoptera and Hemiptera, specifically the armyworm moth Pseudaletia unipuncta and the stink bug Euschistus variolarius. It occurs across a broad geographic range from British Columbia to Quebec in Canada, throughout the United States, and south into Mexico.
Odontomera ferruginea
Odontomera ferruginea is a species of fly in the family Richardiidae, a group of small to medium-sized flies commonly known as picture-winged flies due to their often patterned wings. The species was described by Macquart in 1844. Richardiidae are primarily neotropical in distribution, and members of the genus Odontomera are found in the Americas. Like other richardiids, this species likely exhibits the family's characteristic wing patterns and body form, though specific natural history details remain poorly documented in published literature.
Tetanocera vicina
Tetanocera vicina is a species of marsh fly in the family Sciomyzidae, first described by Macquart in 1844. Members of this genus are commonly known as marsh flies or snail-killing flies due to their specialized larval biology. The species is part of a group of Diptera whose larvae are predators or parasitoids of freshwater snails, playing a distinctive ecological role in aquatic ecosystems. As with many Sciomyzidae, detailed species-level biology remains incompletely documented.
