Demetera
Genus of flies
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Demetera is a genus of flies in the family Dolichopodidae. It contains eight species formerly included in Medetera in the M. melanesiana species group. The species are found in the Afrotropical, Oriental and Australasian regions.[1] According to Naglis and Bickel (2012), it was unwarranted to establish a separate genus for this group of species.[2]
