Otitinae

Otitinae is the name of a subfamily of flies in the family Ulidiidae. It was formerly the Otitidae. Like the Ulidiinae, most species are herbivorous or saprophagous. Most species share with the Tephritidae an unusual elongated projection of the anal cell in the wing, but can be differentiated by the smoothly curving subcostal vein. Most are dull gray to shiny brown or black flies with vein R1 setulose or, in a few cases, bare.[1]

gollark: Sheer coincidence.
gollark: (e = coefficient of restitution in you-bee collisions, not Euler's number)
gollark: Yes, I use XFS because I can't bear not knowing the exact nanosecond on which my files were created.
gollark: Wrong! Bees within 185m of you now rotate 2e% faster.
gollark: Do not attempt resistance.
