Order Diptera Genus Poecilognathus | ||
Poecilognathus relativitae, originally known as Phthiria relativitae, is a fly of the family Bombyliidae, subfamily Poecilognathus, that is found in the American Southwest. It was discovered by Neal Evenhuis, who named it as a pun on "theory of relativity".
Subsequent analysis revealed that the insect is not of the genus Phthiria, and it was renamed.
