Schizophora

Index Schizophora

The Schizophora are a section of true flies containing 78 families, which are collectively referred to as muscoids, although technically the term "muscoid" should be limited to flies in the superfamily Muscoidea; this is an example of informal, historical usage persisting in the vernacular. [1]

16 relations: Acalyptratae, Amnion, Antenna (biology), Calyptratae, Chitin, Chorion, Cuticle, Eduard Becher, Fly, Hemolymph, Muscoidea, Ptilinum, Pupa, Sciomyzidae, Section (biology), Serous membrane.

Acalyptratae

The Acalyptratae are a subsection of the Schizophora, commonly referred to as the acalyptrate muscoids (or simply acalyptrates).

Cuticle

A cuticle, or cuticula, is any of a variety of tough but flexible, non-mineral outer coverings of an organism, or parts of an organism, that provide protection.

Eduard Becher

Eduard Becher (30 September 1856, Vienna - 11 November 1886, Vienna) was an Austrian entomologist who worked on Diptera.

Fly

True flies are insects of the order Diptera, the name being derived from the Greek δι- di- "two", and πτερόν pteron "wings".

Hemolymph

Hemolymph, or haemolymph, is a fluid, analogous to the blood in vertebrates, that circulates in the interior of the arthropod body remaining in direct contact with the animal's tissues.

Muscoidea

Muscoidea is a superfamily of flies in the subsection Calyptratae.

New!!: Schizophora and Muscoidea · See more »

Ptilinum

The ptilinum is an eversible pouch on the head, above the base of the antenna in schizophoran flies (a section of muscomorphan and cyclorrhaphan flies).

Pupa

A pupa (pūpa, "doll"; plural: pūpae) is the life stage of some insects undergoing transformation between immature and mature stages.

Sciomyzidae

The family Sciomyzidae belongs to the typical flies (Brachycera) of the order Diptera.

Section (biology)

In biology a section (Latin: Sectio) is a taxonomic rank that is applied differently between botany and zoology.

Serous membrane

In anatomy, serous membrane (or serosa) is a smooth tissue membrane consisting of two layers of mesothelium, which secrete serous fluid.
