  • Loewimyia

    Loewimyia is a genus of small flies in the family Asteiidae, established by Curtis W. Sabrosky in 1943. The genus belongs to a family of minute acalyptrate Diptera that are often overlooked due to their size. Species within Asteiidae are generally associated with decaying vegetation and fungi. Loewimyia appears to be a relatively obscure genus with limited published biological information.
