Villa (fly)

Villa is a genus of flies belonging to the bee-fly family (Bombyliidae). They range in size from 5 to 17 mm, and have typically rounded heads. The males of some species have a brilliant mat of silvery patagial scales. About 270 Villa species are found on all continents except Antarctica. They can be distinguished from similar genera (Hemipenthes) by their wing venation.
