Afrohybos

Afrohybos is a genus of flies belonging to the family Hybotidae. These flies are typically found in the Afrotropical region. They are small to medium-sized flies, often characterized by their predatory behavior as adults. The taxonomy within Afrohybos can be complex, and ongoing research continues to refine the classification of species within the genus. Specific morphological features are used to differentiate between species, including the structure of the male genitalia, wing venation, and the arrangement of bristles and hairs on the body. The life cycle and larval habits of many Afrohybos species remain largely unknown.
