Oedoparena minor is a small (wing length 4.0-6.4) coastal fly from the family Dryomyzidae. [1]
The ecology of this species is little known, Adults have been reared from Pupa found in the empty shells of dead barnacles. [1] This is not unlike the life style of a North American species Oedoparena glauca, where the larvae feed on living barnacle, before pupating in a now empty barnical shell and then the adult flies emerge during the morning low tide.
