Poecilognathus relativitae

Description

Poecilognathus relativitae, originally known as Phthiria relativitae, is a species of flies of the family Bombyliidae, subfamily Phthiriinae, that is found in the American Southwest. It was discovered by Neal Evenhuis, who named it as a pun on "theory of relativity". Subsequent analysis revealed that the insect is not of the genus Phthiria, and it was renamed.
