Aphantorhaphopsis

Aphantorhaphopsis is a genus of flies in the family Tachinidae.[2][3][4][5][6][7] Some consider this to be a subgenus of Siphona, most European workers seem content that this is a genus in its own right.[2][5] They are known from the Palearctic, Afrotropical and Oriental regions.[1]
