Brachydeutera sturtevanti
Brachydeutera sturtevanti is a species of shore fly in the family Ephydridae, first described by Wirth in 1964. It is characterized as a hyponeustic generalist, meaning it inhabits the water surface film of aquatic or semi-aquatic environments. The species has been documented in the immature stages, with larvae adapted to life at the air-water interface.
