Hydrotaea is a genus of insects in the housefly family, Muscidae. They occur in most regions of the world but are more populous in warmer climates. They are often found on feces in summer months, and are therefore generally found in close proximity to livestock.

May 19, 2017 · Ophyra Robineau-Desvoidy (Diptera: Muscidae) is a small genus distributed mainly throughout the warm regions of the world. The genus includes 16 valid species of which one has been described from an Oligocene fossil (Melander, 1949).

Hydrotaea aenescens, known generally as black dump fly, is a species in the family Muscidae. Other common names include the black garbage fly and dump fly. It is found in Europe. [3][4][5] Larvae of this species are predators of Musca domestica. [6] . The adults are known vectors of human botfly eggs. [2]

This group of nonbiting filth flies, once placed in the genus Ophyra, has been merged into Hydrotaea (Huckett and Vockeroth, 1987). Accordingly, the scientific names of the common species have changed. The black garbage fly, known in older literature as Ophyra leucostoma, is now Hydrotaea ignava.

Ophyra Robineau-Desvoidy (Diptera: Muscidae) is a small genus distributed mainly throughout warm regions of the world. The genus includes 16 valid species of which one has described from an Oligocene fossil (Melander, 1949).

Observations include detailed descriptions of egg and larval stages, their development under varying temperatures, and the anatomical structure of larvae. Furthermore, comparisons with other Ophyra species highlight distinguishing characteristics aiding in species identification.

May 19, 2017 · Ophyra Robineau‐Desvoidy is one of the better‐studied genera of the family Muscidae (Diptera). The larvae of species of this genus feed on highly decomposed organic matter of various origins, and may reveal predatory behaviour as they mature.

In the present study, the knowledge of the necrophagous genus Ophyra in Argentina is revised and first country records for Ophyra albuquerquei Lopes, Ophyra capensis (Wiedemann), Ophyra chalcogaster (Wiedemann) and Ophyra solitaria Albuquerque are presented.
