Enlinia Ornata
''Enlinia'' is a genus of flies in the family Dolichopodidae. Flies in the genus are tiny, with a body length of around 1 mm. The genus is restricted to the New World. There are about 89 species described in the genus. The genus was originally known as ''Collinellula'', named by John Merton Aldrich in 1932. It was named in honor of J. E. Collin, who collected a specimen of the type species, ''Collinellula magistri'' (the specific name was also chosen to celebrate the ability of this collector). However, ''Collinellula'' was found to be preoccupied, so the genus was renamed to ''Enlinia'' by Aldrich in 1933, in honor of G. Enderlein, another collector of the type species.

He is considered one of the most prolific entomologists in the study of flies. Biography John Merton Aldrich was born in Rochester, Minnesota on January 28, 1866. When he was fifteen, he moved with his family to a farm in South Dakota. He enrolled at South Dakota State University and graduated in 1888, one year early because the university president wanted to have a graduating class that year. He studied entomology briefly under Otto Lugger at the University of Minnesota and then started working at the South Dakota State Agricultural Experiment Station with the understanding that he would continue to study entomology in the winter. In 1889 he enrolled at Michigan State University and studied with entomologist Albert J. Cook. Cook suggested that he focus his studies on a single order of insects; Aldrich followed hi ...
