Asaphocrita aphidiella-complex
Asaphocrita aphidiella-complex is a species complex within the family Blastobasidae, a group of small moths often associated with stored products and plant materials. Species in this complex are morphologically similar and have been historically confused, requiring detailed examination for accurate identification. They are part of a genus known for diverse larval habits including predation, parasitism, and detritivory. The complex designation indicates ongoing taxonomic uncertainty regarding species boundaries.
Elmohardyia atlantica-complex
Elmohardyia atlantica-complex is a species complex within the long-legged fly family Dolichopodidae. The group comprises morphologically similar species that have not been fully resolved taxonomically, likely due to cryptic diversity and insufficient sampling. Members are small to medium predatory flies associated with forested habitats. The complex is part of a Neotropical genus with limited published ecological or behavioral documentation.
