Medetera is a large genus of flies in the family Dolichopodidae .[ 9] [ 10] It includes about 350 species worldwide.[ 11] The adults are commonly found resting on vertical surfaces such as tree trunks, on which they have a characteristic vertical upright stance. Because of this stance, they are sometimes known as "woodpecker flies". Medetera adults are predators of soft-bodied arthropods, while the larvae are predators of bark beetle larvae.[ 2] [ 12] [ 13]
A 2011 molecular phylogenetic analysis of Medetera and related genera found that Medetera is paraphyletic with respect to Dolichophorus , and that Thrypticus is a sister taxon to Medetera + Dolichophorus .[ 14]
Species
Taxonomy follows Bickel (1985, 1987),[ 2] [ 12] though some of the species groups are treated as separate genera by other authors.[ 15]
