Bee Fly
The Bombyliidae are a family of flies, commonly known as bee flies. Adults generally feed on nectar and pollen, some being important pollinators. Larvae are mostly parasitoids of other insects. Overview The Bombyliidae are a large family of flies comprising hundreds of genera, but the life cycles of most species are known poorly, or not at all. They range in size from very small (2 mm in length) to very large for flies (wingspan of some 40 mm).Hull, Frank Montgomery, Bee flies of the world: the genera of the family Bombyliidae Washington, Smithsonian Institution Press 1973 . Downloadable from: https://archive.org/details/beefliesofworl2861973hull When at rest, many species hold their wings at a characteristic "swept back" angle.

Brachyanax
''Brachyanax'' is a genus of bee fly in the subfamily Anthracinae. It was circumscribed by Neal Evenhuis in 1981. Thirteen species are recognized, and they are found in Asia and Australasia. Taxonomic history The American entomologist Neal Evenhuis created the genus in a 1981 paper in ''Pacific Insects''. His initial circumscription included eleven species. Four species had first been described in the genus ''Anthrax''; Evenhuis described the other seven species in his initial circumscription. Evenhuis and Junichi Yukawa described an additional new species in 1986. Further changes to the list of species in ''Brachyanax'' occurred in 1988 and 1999. The generic name ''Brachyanax'' comes from the Greek (''brakhús''; "small, short") and ('' ánax''; "lord, master, general-in-chief"). The specific epithet of the type species, ''thelestrephones'', comes from the Greek (''thēlḗ''; "nipple") and (''stréphō''; "twist"). This led to the American entomologist Arnold Menke includi ...
