Within the lower Diptera, mandibulate adults only occur in the Culicomorpha, Blephariceridae, Psychodidae and Tanyderidae (Downes & Colless, 1967). Some flies have mouthparts modified for stabbing and piercing other insects, such as the predatory robber-flies (Asilidae) and dance flies (Empididae). Diptera, therefore, means “two-winged.” Thus adult flies have only one pair of functional wings, hence their scientific name-- Diptera (di - two, pteron - wing). Griffiths, G. C. D. 1994.

The most comprehensive treatment of dipteran phylogeny and contemporary views on morphological character evidence can be found in Volume 3 of the Manual of Nearctic Diptera (McAlpine and Wood 1989). 126:861-880. These are exciting times for students of dipteran classification. The major morphological feature which distinguishes flies from other insects is their reduced hind wings, termed halteres. In: W. Kukenthal (ed.) The common names of the members of this order (Diptera) are written as two words: crane fly, robber fly, bee fly, moth fly, fruit fly, etc. Dipteran pupae have non-functional mandibles (adecticous), and may have the appendages free from the body (exarate), or glued to the body (obtect). 1992. 1 PKM-2019 Diptera sp. 105 LC-2017 Diptera sp.

LOWER DIPTERA. Order Diptera. The Diptera are commonly known as (true) flies and include many familiar insects such as mosquitoes, black flies, midges, fruit flies, blow flies and house flies.
