A review of scuttle fly genera of Israel (Diptera: Phoridae), with new records and an identification key Author Mostovski, Mike B. text Zootaxa 2016 4137 1 61 72 journal article 10.11646/zootaxa.4137.1.4 1c6ab101-fab1-442b-aa9a-93f1824f298d 1175-5326 264841 722D15D8-4320-4034-A587-034A589DAA8F Genus Pseudacteon Loew, 1857 The genus includes over 40 species from all over the world except for the Afrotropics. Females of Pseudacteon parasitize worker ants. Given the presence of a rich myrmecofauna in Israel ( Vonshak & Ionescu-Hirsch 2009 ), an effort should be made to assess the true diversity of Pseudacteon , which may be reasonably high.
