Trixoscelis fumipennis
Trixoscelis fumipennis is a species of fly in the family Heleomyzidae, described by Melander in 1913. The genus Trixoscelis belongs to the subfamily Trixoscelidinae, a group of small to medium-sized flies whose biology remains poorly documented. Available records indicate this species has been observed in limited numbers, with 14 observations recorded on iNaturalist. The specific epithet "fumipennis" (smoky-winged) suggests dark or smoky wing coloration, a characteristic feature of some members of this genus.
