Camptoprosopella dolorosa
Camptoprosopella dolorosa is a species of true fly in the family Lauxaniidae, originally described by Williston in 1903. The genus Camptoprosopella belongs to a moderately diverse family of small to medium-sized flies commonly known as lauxaniid flies. These flies are generally recognized by their characteristic wing venation and often distinctive coloration patterns. The species epithet 'dolorosa' (Latin for 'painful' or 'sorrowful') may refer to some aspect of the type specimen's appearance or collection circumstances, though the original description would be needed to confirm this.
