Sandfly

Le genre Rhyacophila regroupe plusieurs insectes de l'ordre des trichoptères et de la famille des Rhyacophilidae. Systématique Le genre Rhyacophila a été décrit par le naturaliste suisse François Jules Pictet de La Rive en 1834.

Sandfly or sand fly is a colloquial name for any species or genus of flying, biting, blood-sucking dipteran (fly) encountered in sandy areas. In the United States, sandfly may refer to certain horse flies that are also known as "greenheads" (family Tabanidae), or to members of the family Ceratopogonidae. The bites usually result in a small, intensely itchy bump or welt, the strength of which intensifies over a period of 5–7 days before dissipating.
