Polyporivora is a genus of flat-footed flies (insects in the family Platypezidae). There are about eight described species in Polyporivora.
Species These eight species belong to the genus Polyporivora: Polyporivora amurensis Shatalkin, 1981 c g Polyporivora boletina (Fallén, 1815) c g Polyporivora canomela Chandler, 1980 Polyporivora hunteri (Kessel, 1959) Polyporivora nepalensis (Kessel, 1966) Polyporivora ornata (Meigen, 1838) c g Polyporivora picta (Meigen, 1830) Polyporivora polypori (Willard, 1914) Data sources: i = ITIS, c = Catalogue of Life, g = GBIF, b = Bugguide.net
Ecology Little is known about the ecology of this genus. Species of Polyporivora are typically associated with polypore fungi, where their larvae pupate in cocoons embedded within the host.Marshall, Stephen A. (2012).
