Metatrichia bulbosa
window fly
Metatrichia bulbosa is a species of window fly in the family Scenopinidae, originally described as Scenopinus bulbosa by Osten Sacken in 1877. Window flies (Scenopinidae) are a small family of predatory flies known for their distinctive wing venation with reduced crossveins, creating a 'window-like' appearance. The genus Metatrichia is part of the tribe Metatrichiini within the subfamily Scenopininae. Records of this species are sparse, with confirmed observations from Brazil (Piauí).
