The Ephydroidea are a superfamily of muscomorph flies , with over 6,000 species.[1]
Description
[ edit ]
A characteristic of adult Ephydroidea (shared with their relatives such as Calyptratae ) is that the pedicel of the antenna has a dorsoventral seam or incision.[1]
Ecology
[ edit ]
Ephydroidea live in many habitats and have diverse diets. For example, most Ephydridae have larvae that are aquatic/semi-aquatic and feed as browsers or filter-feeders , but there are also species with terrestrial larvae that are egg predators , egg parasitoids , leaf miners or saprophages . Most Drosophilidae breed in rotting material where they feed on yeast and bacteria , but there are also species that attack whole fruits.[2]
Phylogeny
[ edit ]
A 2021 analysis found Ephydroidea to be the sister taxon to Calyptratae.[1]
