How do you classify Diptera?
Classification & Distribution
The Diptera have traditionally been divided into three suborders: Nematocera (flies with multisegmented antennae) Brachycera (flies with stylate antennae) Cyclorrhapha (flies with aristate antennae)
Which of the following belongs to order Diptera?
The Order Diptera (true flies) includes many common insects such as mosquitoes, midges, sand flies, blowflies and the House Fly. Most of the insects we see flying around do so with four wings (two pairs), but dipterans (meaning 'two wings') use only one pair.
