Cryptomeigenia illinoiensis
Cryptomeigenia illinoiensis is a species of tachinid fly in the family Tachinidae. The species was described by Townsend in 1892 and is currently accepted in taxonomic databases. As a member of the subfamily Exoristinae and tribe Blondeliini, it belongs to a group of parasitoid flies that develop in or on other insects. The genus Cryptomeigenia contains species that are known parasitoids of various insect hosts.
Distichona kansensis
Distichona kansensis is a species of tachinid fly (Diptera: Tachinidae) described by Townsend in 1892. Originally described as Olenochaeta kansensis, it was later transferred to the genus Distichona. The species is native to North America, with its type locality presumably in Kansas based on the specific epithet. Like other tachinid flies, it is likely a parasitoid, though specific host associations remain undocumented in available sources.
Eulasiona
Eulasiona is a genus of tachinid flies established by Townsend in 1892. The genus currently contains 12 described species distributed primarily in the Nearctic and Neotropical regions. As members of the family Tachinidae, these flies are parasitoids, though specific host associations for most Eulasiona species remain undocumented. The genus is classified in the subfamily Dexiinae and tribe Voriini.
Ginglymia
Ginglymia is a genus of tachinid flies in the tribe Leskiini, established by Townsend in 1892. The genus contains five described species distributed in North America. As a member of the Tachinidae family, species in this genus are presumed to be parasitoids, though specific host relationships remain undocumented in available literature.
Gonia sagax
Gonia sagax is a species of tachinid fly described by Townsend in 1892. As a member of the family Tachinidae, it is a parasitoid fly, though specific host relationships for this species remain undocumented in the available literature. The species is known to occur in the United States, with records indicating presence in North America. Like other tachinids, adults likely visit flowers for nectar, but detailed behavioral and ecological studies specific to G. sagax are lacking.
Vanderwulpia sequens
Vanderwulpia sequens is a species of bristle fly in the family Tachinidae, first described by Townsend in 1892. It belongs to the tribe Minthoini within the subfamily Tachininae. The species is documented from North America, specifically the United States and Mexico.
