Robber Fly
The Asilidae are the robber fly family, also called assassin flies. They are powerfully built, bristly flies with a short, stout proboscis enclosing the sharp, sucking hypopharynx. The name "robber flies" reflects their notoriously aggressive predatory habits; they feed mainly or exclusively on other insects and, as a rule, they wait in ambush and catch their prey in flight. Overview The Asilidae are a family in the order Diptera, the true flies. The common name for members of the family is the robber flies. The Asilidae are cosmopolitan, with over 7000 described species. Latreille was the authority for establishing the family in 1802. The Asilidae, together with Bombyliidae and Therevidae, are the most representative families of the superfamily of Asiloidea and they form one of the most characteristic groups of the lower Brachycera. Robber flies have stout, spiny legs and three simple eyes (ocelli) in a characteristic depression on the tops of their head between their two la ...

Dichropogon (fly)
''Willisornis'' is a genus of insectivorous passerine birds in the antbird family, Thamnophilidae. These small, strongly sexually dichromatic birds are native to the Guianas and Amazon rainforest in South America, and often follow army ants. Taxonomy The genus ''Willisornis'' was erected by the Brazilian ornithologists Carlos Agne and José Fernando Pacheco in 2007. The genus is named after the American ornithologist Edwin O'Neill Willis. The common scale-backed antbird had traditionally been included in the genus ''Hylophylax'', but is now known to belong to a different clade. The name ''Dichropogon'' was used briefly instead, but this name is preoccupied by a genus of asilid flies (''Dichropogon'' Bezzi, 1910). The two species are: * Common scale-backed antbird (''Willisornis poecilonotus'') * Xingu scale-backed antbird (''Willisornis vidua'') The two species were previously considered conspecific Biological specificity is the tendency of a characteristic such as a behavio ...
