Richardiidae
Guides
Automola
Automola is a genus of flies in the family Richardiidae, established by Loew in 1873. The genus contains at least three described species: A. atomaria, A. caloptera, and A. rufa. Species in this genus are found in the New World tropics and subtropics. Richardiidae flies are commonly known as picture-winged flies due to their patterned wings.
Coniceps niger
Coniceps niger is a species of fly in the family Richardiidae, first described by Loew in 1873. The Richardiidae are a small family of acalyptrate flies within the order Diptera, often associated with decaying plant material and fungi. Very little specific information has been published about the biology or ecology of this particular species.
Odontomera ferruginea
Odontomera ferruginea is a species of fly in the family Richardiidae, a group of small to medium-sized flies commonly known as picture-winged flies due to their often patterned wings. The species was described by Macquart in 1844. Richardiidae are primarily neotropical in distribution, and members of the genus Odontomera are found in the Americas. Like other richardiids, this species likely exhibits the family's characteristic wing patterns and body form, though specific natural history details remain poorly documented in published literature.
Odontomera limbata
Odontomera limbata is a species of fly in the family Richardiidae, described by Steyskal in 1958. Richardiidae are a family of acalyptrate flies commonly known as picture-winged flies, characterized by patterned wings and often distinctive body ornamentation. The genus Odontomera contains multiple species distributed in the Neotropical region. Only one observation of this species has been recorded in iNaturalist, indicating it is rarely encountered or poorly documented.
Omomyia hirsuta
Omomyia hirsuta is a species of picture-winged fly in the family Richardiidae, described by Coquillett in 1907. The specific epithet 'hirsuta' refers to its hairy appearance. Richardiidae flies are generally small to medium-sized with distinctive wing patterns and are often associated with decaying plant material or fungi. The genus Omomyia contains relatively few described species, and O. hirsuta appears to be rarely encountered based on limited collection records.
