Exhyalanthrax is a small genus of bombyliid flies. Bombyliids are commonly known as ''bee flies'' due to their resemblance to bees. ''Exhyalanthrax'' are found in the Afrotropical ecozone and the Palearctic ecozone. Exhyalanthrax spp. are pupal parasitoids.''Exhyalanthrax afer'' has been reared from pupae of tachinid and ichneumonid parasitoids of ''Thaumetopoea pityocampa'' and from the pupae of this species and other Lepidoptera. It has also been bred from cocoons of ''Neodiprion sertifer''. Several African species have been reared from the puparia of tsetse flies and from puparia of other Diptera. An ''Exhyalanthrax'' sp. has also been found preying on cockroach, (''Heterogamisca chopardi'' Uvarov) oothecae in Saudi Arabia. It has been suggested that ''Exhyalanthrax'' might be utilised as biological control agents especially in the battle against tsetse flies. ==Species List== *''E. abruptus'' (Loew 1860) *''E. afer'' (Fabricius 1794) *''E. argentifer'' Becker 1916 *''E. canarionae'' Báez 1990 *''E. collarti'' François 1962 *''E. contrarius'' Becker 1916 *''E. melanchlaenus'' (Loew 1867) *''E. muscarius'' (Pallas 1818) *''E. simonae'' (François 1970) *''E. vicinalis'' Hesse, 1956 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Exhyalanthrax」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
