Wheeler, 1924Species: N. aztecarum Binomial name Nothomicrodon aztecarum
Wheeler, 1924Nothomicrodon aztecarum is a Neotropical fly, known only from a larva collected in 1924 from a carton nest of the ant Azteca trigona. It is the only species in the genus Nothomicrodon, but shows none of the features of a hoverfly larva, and the genus may instead belong in the Phoridae.[1]
