Nothomicrodon
Species of fly
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Nothomicrodon aztecarum is a species of Neotropical flies, originally described from a larva collected in 1924 from a carton nest of the ant Azteca trigona. It is the only species in the genus Nothomicrodon, but shows none of the features of a hoverfly larva, the family in which it was originally classified,[1] and instead belongs in the family Phoridae.[2]
