Coniceromyia
Coniceromyia is a genus of scuttle flies (Diptera: Phoridae) primarily distributed in the Neotropical region. The genus exhibits substantial morphological diversity, with recent taxonomic work describing 41 new species and highlighting complex male secondary sexual characteristics. Species identification relies heavily on male genitalic structures and leg modifications. The true diversity of the genus remains poorly understood due to high rates of singleton and doubleton specimens in collections.
