DescriptionHead like a fly BUT 'wings' like a beetle- a beetle-fly from W-Java (5473771029).jpg |
L: ~ 2-3mm Beetle flies (Celyphidae) are small to medium-sized and easily recognised. The scutellum is enlarged, forming a protective shell over the abdomen, giving them a beetle-like appearance. Also, like many beetles, Celyphidae are often shiny or metallic in colour. The wings, when at rest, are folded beneath the scutellar “shell” . About 90 species are known from the Oriental and Afrotropic biogeographic regions; Spaniocelyphus palmi is probably the commonest celyphid species in the Oriental region [PAPP et al., 2006: p.186f]. The biology of the family is poorly known. Adults are found in along streams and rivers, and in wet grassy areas. Larvae are saprophagous [WORLDLINGO] in decaying plant matter, likely feeding on associated microorganisms [S.D Gaimari]. more info: www.worldlingo.com/ma/enwiki/en/Celyphidae www.cdfa.ca.gov/phpps/ppd/entomology/diptera.html#celyphid species could be: Spaniocelyphus palmi FREY, 1941 ???
