Cordilura luteola
Cordilura luteola is a species of dung fly in the family Scathophagidae, described by Malloch in 1924. The genus Cordilura comprises flies typically associated with wetland and riparian habitats where their larvae develop in decaying organic matter. As a member of the Scathophagidae, this species is part of a family whose common name "dung flies" reflects the larval habit of developing in animal feces and other decomposing substrates, though many species also utilize decaying plant matter and algae in moist environments.

The species belongs to a family of small to medium-sized flies known for their distinctive wing-fluttering behavior. Beyond its taxonomic placement and authorship, specific biological details about this species remain poorly documented in available literature.
