Verticia is a genus of flies (Diptera) in the family Calliphoridae. The genus was first described by J.R. Malloch in 1927.[1][2]
Species[3]
- Verticia chani Kurahashi, Benjaphong & Omar, 1997
- Verticia fasciventris Malloch, 1927
- Verticia indochinica Kurahashi & Chowanadisai, 2001
- Verticia nigra Malloch, 1927
- Verticia orientalis Malloch, 1927
- Verticia quatei Kurahashi & Chowanadisai, 2001
Biology
The larva of the species Verticia fasciventris are parasites and develop in the heads of termites.[4][5]
The genus name was also used for Bacteria (the species Verticia sediminum) in 2015.[6] A renaming to Verticiella was proposed in 2016 when the name was discovered to be a later homonym.[7]
