👉 Pseudoproboscis is a type of fruit fly, which is a member of the family Rhopaloceridae. They are known for their distinctive appearance and behavior, including the presence of long tentacles that help them to crawl through the leaves of other plants. The term "pseudoproboscis" was coined by Dr. George D. White in 1964 as a descriptive name for this type of fruit fly.
