Chloropidae
TaxID: 29032
Basic Information
Chloropidae
Frit Flies, frit flies
The Chloropidae are a family of flies commonly known as frit flies or grass flies. About 2000 described species are in over 160 genera distributed worldwide. These are usually very small flies, yellow or black and appearing shiny due to the virtual absence of any hairs. The majority of the larvae are phytophagous, mainly on grasses, and can be major pests of cereals. However, parasitic and predatory species are known. A few species are kleptoparasites. Some species in the genera Hippelates and Siphunculina (S. funicola being quite well known in Asia) are called eye gnats or eye flies for their habit of being attracted to eyes. They feed on lachrymal secretions and other body fluids of various animals, including humans, and are of medical significance. There are scant records of chloropids from amber deposits, mostly from the Eocene and Oligocene periods although some material may suggest the family dates back to the Cretaceous or earlier.

PRJNA768679 SRX12696596 SRP342198 insect RNA-Seq of Apotropina sp. QLDJCU_chl36 Extractions were performed with the RNeasy kit (Qiagen, Valencia, CA). Library preparation used the NEBNext (New England Biosciences, Ipswich, MA, USA) Ultra RNA Library Prep Kit for Illumina kit. RNA was bound to Agencourt AMPure XP Beads (Beckman Coulter, Inc., Brea, CA, USA) on a magnetic plate. A reverse transcription reaction is performed, followed by a PCR enrichment, yielding a size-selected non-directional cDNA library to be sequenced, multiplexed, as paired-end reads on an Illumina system (Illumina, San Diego, CA, USA) chl36 {'tissue': 'whole body', 'isolate': 'chl36', 'lat_lon': '16.1028 S 145.4488 E', 'altitude': '47m', 'dev_stage': 'adult', 'collected_by': 'Keith M.
