The relationship between the Milichiidae and Carnidae

Edited by Irina Brake on Thu, 2009-02-12 14:03

The question of whether the Carnidae is a subfamily of the Milichiidae or a separate family has for long been a subject for discussion. The reason for this is the similarity between the carnid genera Meoneura and
Hemeromyia, and several Madizinae. Both groups are characterised by the presence of two medioclinate "frontal" setae and two lateroclinate orbital setae. This condition is unique in the Schizophora.

Promachus albifacies with prey and kleptoparasitic flies

Submitted by Efferia on Wed, 2010-12-08 16:32

The Robber Fly is Promachus albifacies, the prey is a native bee of the genus Agapostemon female, the ant is a Pogonomyrmex and of course the fly is another member of the Chloropidae. This photo taken on my property Hereford Arizona at five thousand feet elevation, Huachuca Mountains.

Efferia bryanti with Pentatomidae prey and kleptoparasitic flies

Submitted by Efferia on Wed, 2010-12-08 11:27

This image shows a female Efferia bryanti with its prey a Pentatomidae. The Freeloader walks all over the asilid and I believe remains attached even when the Predator flies some distance(at least if it transports its prey.

This population of Efferia bryanti is located between Paradise and Portal in Cochise County AZ.
