It belongs to the subfamily Mydaeinae within the family Muscidae, a group commonly known as house flies and their relatives. The species is documented from the Palearctic region, with confirmed records from several northwestern European countries.
Mydaea
Mydaea is a large genus of true flies in the family Muscidae, first described by Robineau-Desvoidy in 1830. The genus belongs to the subfamily Mydaeinae and contains numerous species distributed across the Northern Hemisphere. Members of this genus are part of the diverse muscid fly fauna, though specific biological details for many species remain poorly documented.
Mydaea flavicornis
Mydaea flavicornis is a species of true fly in the family Muscidae, described by Daniel William Coquillett in 1902. The species epithet "flavicornis" (yellow-horned) refers to a distinctive yellow coloration of the antennae. As a member of the subfamily Mydaeinae, it belongs to a group of muscid flies commonly known as dung flies or stable flies. The genus Mydaea contains numerous species distributed primarily in the Holarctic region, though individual species distributions vary.
Mydaea impedita
Mydaea impedita is a species of muscid fly described by Stein in 1920. It belongs to the subfamily Mydaeinae within the family Muscidae, a group that includes many synanthropic and free-living flies. The species is rarely documented, with only five observations recorded on iNaturalist as of the available data. Like other members of Mydaea, it is presumed to be a generalist decomposer, though specific ecological details remain poorly known.
Mydaea winnemana
Mydaea winnemana is a species of muscid fly described by John Russell Malloch in 1919. It belongs to the subfamily Mydaeinae, a group of generally small to medium-sized flies within the family Muscidae. The species is part of a genus distributed primarily in the Holarctic region. Specific biological details for this species remain poorly documented in available literature.
Myospila
Myospila is a genus of flies in the family Muscidae, subfamily Mydaeinae. The genus contains over 150 described species distributed across multiple continents. Species-level taxonomy has been extensively revised, with numerous species described from Asia in recent decades.
Myospila meditabunda
Myospila meditabunda is a muscid fly described by Fabricius in 1781. It belongs to the subfamily Mydaeinae within the family Muscidae, a group of true flies commonly known as house flies and their relatives. The species has been recorded from multiple localities across northern Europe including Denmark, Norway, and Sweden, as well as from Madeira Island and the northeastern United States (Vermont).
