Medetera Saxatilis

	Medetera Saxatilis ''Medetera'' is a large genus of flies in the family Dolichopodidae. It includes about 350 species worldwide. The adults are commonly found resting on vertical surfaces such as tree trunks. The larvae are predators of bark beetle larvae. A 2011 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''.

	Thrypticus ''Thrypticus'' is a genus of long-legged flies in the family Dolichopodidae. There are about 90 described species in ''Thrypticus''. All known larvae of the genus are phytophagous stem-miners of plants in the families Cyperaceae, Poaceae, Juncaceae, and Pontederiaceae. Female adults have a strong, pointed ovipositor The ovipositor is a tube-like organ used by some animals, especially insects, for the laying of eggs. In insects, an ovipositor consists of a maximum of three pairs of appendages. The details and morphology of the ovipositor vary, but typical ... used to pierce and insert eggs in the stems of the plants.
