Carpomyina
Carpomyina is a subtribe of fruit flies within the family Tephritidae, subfamily Trypetinae, and tribe Carpomyini. Members are included in genera such as Rhagoletis, Zonosemata, and Carpomya. Behavioral studies indicate these flies exhibit complex resource-acquisition behaviors related to food, mates, and oviposition sites, with defensive behaviors against natural enemies.
Carpomyini
Carpomyini is a tribe of fruit flies within the family Tephritidae, subfamily Trypetinae. The tribe includes genera such as Carpomya, Goniglossum, Myiopardalis, and Norrbomella. Species within this tribe are associated with host plants in the family Cucurbitaceae, particularly Bryonia species.
Chetostoma
Chetostoma is a genus of true flies (Diptera) in the family Tephritidae, first described by Camillo Rondani in 1856. The genus comprises approximately 15 described species distributed across the Northern Hemisphere, including North America, Europe, and East Asia. Members of this genus are small to medium-sized fruit flies, though specific biological details for most species remain poorly documented. The genus is classified within the subfamily Trypetinae and tribe Trypetini.
Oedicarena persuasa
Oedicarena persuasa is a species of tephritid fruit fly described by Osten Sacken in 1877. It belongs to the genus Oedicarena within the subfamily Trypetinae. The species is part of the tribe Carpomyini, a group of fruit flies often associated with host plants in the family Asteraceae. Available records indicate limited observational data, with 18 observations documented on iNaturalist.
Paraterellia immaculata
Paraterellia immaculata is a species of fruit fly in the family Tephritidae, described by Blanc in 1979. It is one of approximately 20 species in the genus Paraterellia, a group of tephritid flies primarily distributed in the New World. The specific epithet 'immaculata' (meaning 'unspotted' or 'spotless') likely refers to the wing pattern, as many tephritids are characterized by distinctive wing markings. Very little is known about the biology or ecology of this species.
Paraterellia ypsilon
Paraterellia ypsilon is a species of tephritid fruit fly described by Foote in 1960. It belongs to the genus Paraterellia within the family Tephritidae, a group of true flies commonly known as fruit flies. The species is part of the tribe Carpomyini and subtribe Paraterelliina. Very little specific information about its biology, distribution, or ecology has been documented in available sources.
Paraterelliina
Paraterelliina is a subtribe of fruit flies within the family Tephritidae, established by Korneyev in 1995. It belongs to the tribe Carpomyini in the subfamily Trypetinae. The subtribe contains genera of small to medium-sized tephritid flies, though the constituent genera and species-level composition remain incompletely documented in public sources.
Strauzia perfecta
Strauzia perfecta is a species of fruit fly in the family Tephritidae, first described by Loew in 1873. It belongs to the genus Strauzia, a group of tephritid flies whose larvae develop in plant stems. The species is accepted as valid in major taxonomic databases. Specific biological details remain poorly documented in available literature.
Toxotrypanini
Toxotrypanini is a tribe of fruit flies within the subfamily Trypetinae of Tephritidae. The tribe includes economically significant genera such as Toxotrypana (containing the papaya fruit fly) and Anastrepha (a large genus of Neotropical fruit fly pests). Members are primarily associated with tropical and subtropical regions of the Americas. The tribe is characterized by specialized relationships with host fruits, with several species recognized as major agricultural pests.
Trypeta fractura
Trypeta fractura is a species of fruit fly in the family Tephritidae, first described by Coquillett in 1902. The genus Trypeta belongs to the subfamily Trypetinae, a group characterized by distinctive wing patterns used in species identification. As with other tephritid fruit flies, T. fractura likely exhibits the family's typical wing patterning, though specific details about its biology remain poorly documented in available literature.
