Paradidyma
Paradidyma is a genus of tachinid flies established in 1891. The genus contains approximately 35 described species distributed primarily in the Americas, from the United States through Central America and into South America. Species have been described by multiple dipterists including Reinhard, Townsend, and Curran. As members of the Tachinidae, these flies are parasitoids, though specific host associations for most Paradidyma species remain undocumented.
Paradidyma apicalis
Paradidyma apicalis is a species of tachinid fly (Diptera: Tachinidae) described by Reinhard in 1934. It belongs to the subfamily Tachininae and tribe Minthoini. The genus Paradidyma is part of a diverse group of parasitoid flies that attack various insect hosts. This species is recorded from North America.
Paradidyma conica
Paradidyma conica is a species of bristle fly in the family Tachinidae, first described by Townsend in 1891. It belongs to the tribe Minthoini within the subfamily Tachininae. The species is known from North America, with records from the United States. As a tachinid fly, it is presumed to be a parasitoid, though specific host associations for this species have not been documented in the available literature.
Vanderwulpia

As members of the tribe Minthoini within subfamily Tachininae, these flies are parasitoids, though specific host associations remain poorly documented.
