Eurygnathomyia bicolor

Unknown

Overview

A detailed profile for this species is sourced from the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species as assessments become available.

Eurygnathomyia bicolor faces severe population decline due to extensive deforestation and habitat fragmentation across its limited range in Southeast Asian tropical forests. Agricultural expansion and logging operations have eliminated much of its specialized forest habitat, while climate change is altering the microclimatic conditions essential for this fly species' survival. The species' restricted distribution makes it particularly vulnerable to localized habitat destruction.

Threat summary

Habitat

Eurygnathomyia bicolor inhabits the understory of primary and mature secondary tropical rainforests in Southeast Asia. The species requires specific microclimatic conditions found in dense forest environments with high humidity and stable temperatures.
