Lonchoptera, a genus of spear-winged flies (Lonchopteridae), are tiny to small (2-5mm), slender, yellow to brownish-black bristly Diptera. Their common name refers to their subacute (pointed) wings, which have a distinct and sexually dimorphic venation. The larvae are dorsally flattened, with two pairs of head bristles, and feed on rotting vegetable matter.,[1] including in one case brussels sprouts.[2]

This genus can be distinguished from other spear-winged flies by several traits:[3]

  • foreleg tibiae have dorsal setae in the middle
  • foreleg tarsi thinner than foreleg tibiae
  • pointed wingtip without apical brown spot.
