The genus ''Scathophaga'' are small to medium sized predatory flies that for the most part, have larvae that feed on other insect larva within animal dung or decaying vegetable matter. Many are highly variable, sometimes producing small, infertile males that superficially resemble females.〔''Scathophaga stercoraria''〕 is an example of an organism which may selectively store the sperm of multiple males, as females have three to four spermathecae.〔(cf. http://euplotes.biology.uiowa.edu/web/sexpapers/2004/week12/Ward.pdf)〕 ==Species== *''Scathophaga calida'' (Haliday in Curtis, 1832) *''Scathophaga furcata'' (Say, 1823) *''Scathophaga gigantea'' (Aldrich, 1932) *''Scathophaga inquinata'' (Meigen, 1826) *''Scathophaga litorea'' (Fallén, 1819) *''Scathophaga lutaria'' (Fabricius, 1794) *''Scathophaga pictipennis'' (Oldenberg, 1923) *''Scathophaga scybalaria'' (Linnaeus, 1758) *''Scathophaga stercoraria'' (Linnaeus, 1758) *''Scathophaga suilla'' (Fabricius, 1794) 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「Scathophaga」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
