Biology:Medeterites
From HandWiki
Medeterites is an extinct genus of flies in the family Dolichopodidae, known from Baltic amber and Belorussian amber. It was originally established for one species, Medeterites molestus, originally placed in the genus Thrypticus.[1] In 2024, the genus was expanded to include four more species originally placed in the genera Thrypticus, Achalcus and Anepsiomyia. All five species were described by Fernand Meunier between 1907 and 1908.[2]
