Terminalia
Guides
Aulacephala
Aulacephala is a genus of tachinid flies in the tribe Ormiini, first described by Macquart in 1851. A 2015 systematic revision recognized two valid species in the genus, while some online checklists still show a different species count. The published revision also provides species-level keys illustrated with male and female terminalia.
Badamia
Badamia is an Indoaustralian genus of skipper butterflies in the family Hesperiidae. Two species are listed in the genus. The larvae are reported to feed on Terminalia plants. One member, the Brown Awl (*Badamia exclamationis*), is documented undertaking seasonal long-distance migration.
Carpophthoromyia
Carpophthoromyia is an accepted genus of fruit flies in the family Tephritidae, order Diptera. A 2006 systematic revision treated it as Afrotropical and recognized 17 species at that time. Species-level identification can require a specialist key and examination of wing patterns or terminalia, the structures at the rear of the abdomen.
Herniosina
Herniosina is a genus of small flies in the family Sphaeroceridae. Its documented range extends across Europe, from Iceland and Fennoscandia south to the Mediterranean and east to Russia. Species are recognized chiefly by detailed structures of the male abdomen and genitalia, with female postabdomen characters also useful. In studied Mediterranean species, adults occur in damp, leaf-litter-rich vegetation; these habitat details are documented for particular species rather than established for every member of the genus.
Macrostomus amazonensis
Dance flies
Macrostomus amazonensis is a small dance fly in the family Empididae, described from the Amazon region. Published records place it in Guyana and the Brazilian states of Roraima, Amazonas, Pará, Rondônia, and Mato Grosso. The male holotype measured 2.6 mm in body length, and the species is diagnosed by fine bristle and genital structures rather than color alone.
Metalimnobia
Metalimnobia is a genus of crane flies in the family Limoniidae, with documented species in East Asia and Europe. Regional revisions cover multiple species in Korea and China and provide keys for identifying them. A European species also illustrates a documented larval association with fungus-bearing dead wood.
Parerigone
Parerigone is a genus of tachinid flies (Diptera: Tachinidae). A 2015 revision treated 15 species and added five from China, while a separate paper described another species from Nepal. The genus is recognized and its species are separated through formal morphological diagnoses and identification keys. Those revisions pay particular attention to the male and female terminalia, the external reproductive structures used in species-level identification.
Procanace
beach flies
Procanace is a genus of canacid flies (Diptera: Canacidae), a family commonly called beach flies. GBIF lists 32 species records, and described representatives occur across widely separated regions, including the Philippines and Hawaiian Islands. Species are often separated using fine structural characters: published descriptions discuss male terminalia, while a Hawaiian species pair is distinguished by the form of the seventh abdominal tergite. In Hawaii, Procanace has also been studied among stream-dwelling aquatic insects.
Symplecta
Symplecta is a genus of crane flies in the family Limoniidae, established by Meigen in 1830. The genus contains multiple subgenera, with subgenus Symplecta sensu stricto comprising Arctic and partly Arctic distributed species. Species-level taxonomy within this group has undergone recent revision, with several species redescribed, new species described from Canada and Russia, and taxonomic synonyms resolved. The genus is characterized by distinctive male and female terminalia morphology used for species identification.
Tetragoneura
Tetragoneura is a genus of fungus gnats in the fly family Mycetophilidae. The GBIF taxonomic backbone recognizes Tetragoneura Winnertz, 1846 as an accepted genus and lists more than 150 descendant taxon records. A European revision treated five species, while taxonomic checklists document the genus in Europe and Morocco.
