Guides
Ceracia
Ceracia is a genus of bristle flies in the family Tachinidae, established by Rondani in 1865. The genus comprises approximately 13 described species distributed across multiple continents. Members of this genus are parasitoid flies, though specific host associations remain poorly documented for most species. The genus is classified within the tribe Acemyini of the subfamily Tachininae.
Drepanoglossa
Drepanoglossa is a genus of tachinid flies established by Townsend in 1891. The genus contains at least three described species, all parasitoid flies that develop within other insects. These bristle flies are part of the diverse Tachinidae family, one of the largest families of Diptera. The genus name derives from Greek roots suggesting a hooked or sickle-shaped tongue or mouthpart structure.
Graphogastrini
Graphogastrini is a tribe of tachinid flies within the subfamily Tachininae. The tribe comprises 16 recognized genera distributed across multiple continents. Members are parasitoid flies, though specific host associations remain poorly documented for most genera. The genus Phytomyptera, established in 1845, is among the oldest described within the tribe.
Icelia triquetra
Icelia triquetra is a species of bristle fly in the family Tachinidae. It belongs to the tribe Iceliini within the subfamily Tachininae. The species was described by Olivier in 1811. It is known from a limited number of observations and records.
Myiophasiini
Myiophasiini is a tribe of bristle flies within the family Tachinidae, subfamily Tachininae. The tribe comprises at least nine genera and approximately 18 described species. Members are parasitoid flies, though specific host associations remain poorly documented for most species.
Paradidyma conica
Paradidyma conica is a species of bristle fly in the family Tachinidae, first described by Townsend in 1891. It belongs to the tribe Minthoini within the subfamily Tachininae. The species is known from North America, with records from the United States. As a tachinid fly, it is presumed to be a parasitoid, though specific host associations for this species have not been documented in the available literature.
Siphonini
Siphonini is a tribe of tachinid flies within the family Tachinidae, subfamily Tachininae. The tribe comprises approximately 19 genera, including the type genus Siphona Meigen, 1803. Members are parasitoid flies, with larvae that develop within host insects. The tribe has been documented across multiple continents based on iNaturalist observations.
