"All are wingless" vs winged illustration - what gives?

It reads: "Melophagus is a genus of biting flies in the family of louse flies, Hippoboscidae. There are three known species and one subspecies.[1] All are parasites of bovines.[2] All are wingless." - so why on earth do all the Melophagus shown in the illustration on the righthandside come with wings!? - is it moreso that like other louselike deerfly Melophagus shed their wings on finding an host? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2.25.124.2 (talk) 07:16, 28 April 2015 (UTC)Reply
