    micro bee flies

    Glabellula is a genus of micro bee flies in the family Mythicomyiidae, comprising more than 30 described species with cosmopolitan distribution. The genus is poorly studied in the Neotropical Region, with recent taxonomic work describing new species from Colombia. At least one species, G. arctica, has been documented as myrmecophilous, living in association with ant nests. The group represents one of several genera of diminutive bombylioid flies often overlooked due to their small size.
