Diptera 1: "Nematocera" The Nematocera are a heterogenous assemblage of generally midge-like flies. Some included groups are mosquitoes, black flies, crane flies, no-see-ums, and fungus gnats. Many lineages are ancient, and since the more morphologically specialized Brachyceran flies evolved from within the Nematocera these flies do not form a natural grouping. Please email me if you can help identify my unidentified flies. |
