Systenus albimanus
Systenus albimanus is a species of long-legged fly in the family Dolichopodidae, described by Wirth in 1952. It belongs to the subfamily Medeterinae, a group of small to medium-sized predatory flies commonly found in moist habitats. The species is characterized by its distinctive white fore tarsi, referenced in its specific epithet 'albimanus' (white hand). Like other dolichopodids, it is presumed to be predatory as both adult and larval stages, though specific ecological studies on this species are limited.
