Deopalpus hirsutus
Deopalpus hirsutus is a species of bristle fly in the family Tachinidae, described by Townsend in 1908. The species is known from North America, with records from Canada, the United States, and Mexico. As a tachinid fly, it is presumed to be a parasitoid, though specific host associations for this species remain undocumented. The genus Deopalpus is part of the diverse tribe Tachinini within the subfamily Tachininae.
Rhachoepalpus
Rhachoepalpus is a genus of tachinid flies described by Townsend in 1908. The genus comprises approximately 18 described species distributed primarily in the Neotropical region, with records from South America including Argentina, Peru, and Brazil. Species were described across several decades, with notable contributions by Townsend (1908–1935), Macquart (1844–1846), and Curran (1947). As members of Tachinidae, these flies are presumably parasitoids, though specific host relationships remain undocumented in available sources.

It is found in North America, with distribution records from Canada, the United States, and Mexico. As a tachinid fly, it is likely a parasitoid, though specific host associations for this species remain undocumented in the available literature.
