From HandWiki

Polyporivora is a genus of flat-footed flies (insects in the family Platypezidae). There are about eight described species in Polyporivora.[1][2][3][4] thumb

Species

These eight species belong to the genus Polyporivora:

  • Polyporivora amurensis Shatalkin, 1981 c g
  • Polyporivora boletina (Fallén, 1815) c g
  • Polyporivora canomela Chandler, 1980[5]
  • Polyporivora hunteri (Kessel, 1959)[6]
  • Polyporivora nepalensis (Kessel, 1966)[7]
  • Polyporivora ornata (Meigen, 1838) c g
  • Polyporivora picta (Meigen, 1830)[8]
  • Polyporivora polypori (Willard, 1914)[9]

Data sources: i = ITIS,[1] c = Catalogue of Life,[2] g = GBIF,[3] b = Bugguide.net[4]

Ecology

Little is known about the ecology of this genus. Species of Polyporivora are typically associated with polypore fungi, where their larvae pupate in cocoons embedded within the host.[10] Consequently, they are generally found in habitats that support polypore growth throughout the Holarctic.
