Taxon Description

Paramyia

Submitted by Irina Brake on Wed, 2011-01-12 16:22

Biology

Females of Paramyia nitens are kleptoparasitic on spiders and reduviids. The biology of the other species is largely unknown, except for P. hungarica, which has been collected on fermenting fruit bait, and P. inconspicua, which has been collected on forest detritus

Diagnostic Description

Crossvein dm-cu absent; medioreclinate posterior orbital seta present.

Distribution

Species can be found worldwide, but the highest diversity seem to occur in the paleotropics.

Habitat

Several species having been collected in or at the edge of rain forests.

Key to genera of Milichiidae

Edited by Irina Brake on Mon, 2010-11-15 10:09

This key has been adapted from Brake (2000).

1. Vibrissa below or at the level of lower margin of eye; head in profile subquadrate; vertical diameter of eye less than 1.5x the horizontal diameter. Frons in male as wide as in female. Wing with subcostal notch seldom evident, never well-developed; R4+5 and M1 not or only slightly converging at tips; distal margin of anal cell (CuA2) usually rounded (if not, then epistoma extended dorsally, subtriangular). Abdominal tergites of male without silvery microtomentum.
