Leschenaultia

Leschenaultia is a genus of flies in the family Tachinidae. It may be synonymous with the genus Harrisia, but the type material of Harrisia has been lost, hindering comparisons.[3] Leschenaultia comprises 32 species, distributed across the Americas:[3]

Species

One species, L. nigrisquamis (Townsend, 1892), was not examined in the most recent monograph of the genus, because the type material is missing, and two former species were not recognised:
