Ortalis (fly)
''Ortalis'' is an historic genus of Ulidiid or picture-winged flies, first described by Carl Fredrik Fallén, Fallén in 1810. It served as the type genus for the family Ulidiidae, which was called Ortalidae at the time. In 1932, it was pointed out by John Merton Aldrich, Adlrich that the name ''Ortalis'' was preoccupied by a genus of birds (in family Cracidae) which had been named by Blasius Merrem, Merrem in 1786. The name of the fly family was therefore revised, with some authors calling it Otitidae until Ulidiidae was settled on as standard. The genus itself was found to be paraphyletic, and all of its species have been reassigned to other genera, some in the Ulidiidae, and some in other Tephritoidea, Tephritoid families. In the following list, the species are organized according to the families and genera to which they have been reassigned. Family Ulidiidae Ceroxys * ''Ortalis cinifera'' (Loew, 1846) → Ceroxys cinifera * ''Ortalis confusa'' (Becker, 1912) → Ceroxys co ...

Ulidiidae
The Ulidiidae (formerly Otitidae) or picture-winged flies are a large and diverse cosmopolitan family of flies (Diptera), and as in related families, most species are herbivorous or detritivorous. They are often known as picture-winged flies, along with members of other families in the superfamily Tephritoidea that have patterns of bands or spots on the wings. Some species share with the Tephritidae an unusual elongated posteroapical projection of the anal cell in the wing, but can be differentiated by the smoothly curving subcostal vein. Two species, ''Tetanops myopaeformis'' and '' Euxesta stigmatias'', are agricultural pests. Systematics The Ulidiidae are divided into two subfamilies.
