V
vitta
Plural: vittae.
A broad stripe, most often used while describing longitudinal bands on the thorax but can be used for the abdomen and head, when it mostly will be used to describe a cross-band.
E.g.: "Presutural area of scutum with irregular dark brown vittae on lateral margin -Oestrophasia (Cenosoma) sabroskyi."


W
Wikipedia
A free multilingual encyclopaedia. Many of the Diptera pages (best accessed through 'flies') are written by or with the help of authorities. The sites vary in quality but constantly improve. Some pages are technical, others are general. Often the German, Dutch or French versions are better than the English language page but the sites slowly merge as cross translation proceeds. A wiki stub is a page with very litle information awaiting addition.

X
xylophagous
Feeding on, usually dead, wood. Xylophagous stages usually do not only live on wood, but also in.
