Syntormon subinermis

Unknown

Overview

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

Syntormon subinermis faces severe population decline primarily due to habitat destruction from agricultural expansion and urban development across its limited range. The species' specialized ecological requirements make it particularly vulnerable to environmental changes, with remaining populations increasingly fragmented and isolated. Pollution from agricultural runoff and pesticide use further threatens the delicate ecosystems this fly depends upon for survival.
