Guides
Trixoscelis albibasis
Trixoscelis albibasis is a small fly species in the family Heleomyzidae, described by Malloch in 1931. The genus Trixoscelis comprises minute to small flies associated with decaying organic matter. Species in this genus are poorly studied, with limited ecological and behavioral documentation. T. albibasis is known from very few observations.
Trixoscelis buccata
Trixoscelis buccata is a small fly in the family Heleomyzidae, described by Melander in 1952. Like other members of the genus Trixoscelis, it belongs to a group of flies commonly known as lesser dung flies or heleomyzids. The species is rarely encountered and poorly documented in the literature, with minimal observational records available.
Trixoscelis cinerea
Trixoscelis cinerea is a species of small fly in the family Heleomyzidae, first described by Coquillett in 1902. It belongs to the subfamily Trixoscelidinae, a group of flies whose biology remains poorly documented. The species name "cinerea" refers to an ash-gray coloration. Like other members of its genus, it is likely associated with decaying organic matter, though specific ecological details are scarcely recorded in scientific literature.
Trixoscelis fumipennis
Trixoscelis fumipennis is a species of fly in the family Heleomyzidae, described by Melander in 1913. The genus Trixoscelis belongs to the subfamily Trixoscelidinae, a group of small to medium-sized flies whose biology remains poorly documented. Available records indicate this species has been observed in limited numbers, with 14 observations recorded on iNaturalist. The specific epithet "fumipennis" (smoky-winged) suggests dark or smoky wing coloration, a characteristic feature of some members of this genus.
Trixoscelis melanderi
Trixoscelis melanderi is a species of fly in the family Heleomyzidae, described by Vockeroth in 1965. It belongs to the subfamily Trixoscelidinae, a group of small to medium-sized flies often associated with decaying organic matter. The genus Trixoscelis is distributed across the Holarctic region, with species typically found in woodland and forest habitats.
Trixoscelis polita
Trixoscelis polita is a species of small fly in the family Heleomyzidae, subfamily Trixoscelidinae. The species was described by Malloch in 1931. Like other members of the genus Trixoscelis, it is associated with decaying organic matter and fungal habitats. The family Heleomyzidae is part of the muscoid fly radiation within Brachycera, and Trixoscelidinae represents one of the more specialized lineages within this family, often found in distinctive microhabitats.
Trixoscelis punctipennis
Trixoscelis punctipennis is a species of true fly in the family Heleomyzidae, subfamily Trixoscelidinae. It was described by Melander in 1913. The genus Trixoscelis comprises small flies commonly associated with decaying organic matter and fungal habitats.
Trixoscelis signifera
Trixoscelis signifera is a species of fly in the family Heleomyzidae, described by Melander in 1952. It belongs to the subfamily Trixoscelidinae, a group of small to medium-sized flies. The genus Trixoscelis is primarily distributed in the Holarctic region. Like other members of Heleomyzidae, this species is likely associated with decaying organic matter, though specific ecological details remain poorly documented.
