''Senostoma '' is a genus of parasitoid tachinid flies in the family Tachinidae.〔 Endemic to Australasia, the flies are medium-sized, bristly, and long-legged. ==Taxonomy== French entomologist Justin Pierre Marie Macquart first described the genus in 1847 in the work "Diptères Exotiques, Nouveaux Ou Peu Connus, Supplément I", published in ''Memoires de la Societe royale des sciences, de l'agriculture et des arts, de Lille''. Macquart stated that "Senostoma" signifies "narrow mouth".〔〔 At various times the name has been used generically, and misapplied to ''Prodiaphania'' and ''Microrutilia''. ''Senostoma'' is classified in the subfamily Dexiinae; some older texts use the synonym Proseninae.〔〔 The genus comprises four species-groups, ''punctipenne'', ''rubricarinaturn'', ''longipes'', and ''hirsutilunula''.〔 There are approximately 10,000 species described within Tachinidae, and the geographic range and diversity of the species and difficulties encountered in classification means the count is probably thousands more. The monophyletic features that support Tachinidae classification are subtle, and detailed information on most genera and species is sparse. ''Senostoma'' is one such genus that lacks extensive research, with most studies having focussed only on a few of its 29 identified species.〔〔〔 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「Senostoma」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
