Hyrmophlaeba
Hyrmophlaeba is a genus of tangle-veined flies (Diptera: Nemestrinidae) established by Camillo Rondani in 1863. The genus is currently treated as a synonym of Hirmoneura by some authorities, though GBIF and other sources list it as accepted. Species in this group are characterized by their distinctive wing venation with numerous crossveins creating a net-like pattern. The genus belongs to a family of medium to large flies whose larvae are internal parasitoids of other insects.
Neohirmoneura
Neohirmoneura is a genus of tangle-veined flies in the family Nemestrinidae. The genus was established by Bequaert in 1920. Taxonomic status remains contested: Catalogue of Life treats it as a synonym of Hirmoneura, while GBIF and iNaturalist recognize it as accepted. The genus is rarely encountered, with only 46 observations documented on iNaturalist.
