Chaetostigmoptera
Chaetostigmoptera is a genus of tachinid flies erected by Charles Howard Townsend in 1916. The genus belongs to the tribe Blondeliini within the subfamily Exoristinae. Six species have been described, ranging from 1898 to 1934. Members are parasitoid flies, though specific host records for this genus appear to be poorly documented in accessible literature.
Genea texensis
Genea texensis is a species of bristle fly (Diptera: Tachinidae) native to North America. Originally described as Dejeaniopalpus texensis by Townsend in 1916, it was later transferred to the genus Genea. As a member of the Tachinidae family, it is a parasitoid fly whose larvae develop inside other insects. The species is documented from 21 iNaturalist observations, indicating it is not commonly encountered.
