Wagneria
Wagneria is a genus of tachinid flies (family Tachinidae) established by Robineau-Desvoidy in 1830. The genus contains approximately 18 described species distributed across the Holarctic region. Notably, Wagneria holds the record for having more junior homonyms than any other animal genus name, reflecting historical taxonomic complications. As members of Tachinidae, these flies are parasitoids, though specific host associations for most Wagneria species remain poorly documented.
