The Acalyptratae or Acalyptrata are a subsection of the Schizophora, which are a section of the order Diptera, the "true flies". In various contexts the Acalyptratae also are referred to informally as the acalyptrate muscoids, or acalyptrates, as opposed to the Calyptratae. All forms of the name refer to the lack of calypters in the members of this subsection of flies. An alternative name, Acalypterae is current, though in minority usage. It was first used by Pierre-Justin-Marie Macquart in 1835 for a section of his tribe Muscides; he used it to refer to all acalyptrates plus scathophagids and phorids, but excluding Conopidae.
The Ulidiidae or picture-winged flies are a large and diverse cosmopolitan family of flies (Diptera), and as in related families, most species are herbivorous or detritivore. They are often known as picture-winged flies, along with members of other families in the superfamily Tephritoidea that have patterns of bands or spots on the wings. Some species share with the Tephritidae an unusual elongated posteroapical projection of the anal cell in the wing, but can be differentiated by the smoothly curving subcostal vein. Two species, Tetanops myopaeformis and Euxesta stigmatias, are agricultural pests.
The Tephritoidea are a superfamily of flies. The following families are included:
Aciuroides is a genus of ulidiid or picture-winged fly in the family Ulidiidae.
Physiphora is a genus of flies in the family Ulidiidae.
Pseudotephritis is a genus of picture-winged flies in the family Ulidiidae.
Ulidia is a genus of picture-winged flies in the family Ulidiidae.
Acrostictella parallela is a species of picture-winged fly in the genus Acrostictella of the family Ulidiidae. It was described by Friedrich Georg Hendel in 1914.
Timia alini is a species of ulidiid or picture-winged fly in the genus Timia of the family Ulidiidae.
Timia beybienkoi is a species of ulidiid or picture-winged fly in the genus Timia of the family Ulidiidae.
Timia carbonaria, meaning "stirrup shell," is a species of ulidiid or picture-winged fly in the genus Timia of the family Ulidiidae.
Timia orientalis is a species of ulidiid or picture-winged fly in the genus Timia of the family Ulidiidae.
Timia persica is a species of ulidiid or picture-winged fly in the genus Timia of the family Ulidiidae.
Tetanops is a genus of picture-winged flies in the family Ulidiidae.
Herina is a genus of flies in the family Ulidiidae. It is possibly the largest genus in the family.
Timia is a genus of flies in the family Ulidiidae, which is difficult to separate from the genus Ulidia.
Otitinae is the name of a subfamily of flies in the family Ulidiidae. It was formerly the Otitidae. Like the Ulidiinae, most species are herbivorous or saprophagous. Most species share with the Tephritidae an unusual elongated projection of the anal cell in the wing, but can be differentiated by the smoothly curving subcostal vein. Most are dull gray to shiny brown or black flies with vein R1 setulose or, in a few cases, bare.

Ortalis is an historic genus of Ulidiid or picture-winged flies, first described by Fallén in 1810. It served as the type genus for the family Ulidiidae, which was called Ortalidae at the time. In 1932, it was pointed out by Adlrich that the name Ortalis was preoccupied by a genus of birds which had been named by Merrem in 1786. The name of the fly family was therefore revised, with some authors calling it Otitidae until Ulidiidae was settled on as standard. The genus itself was found to be paraphyletic, and all of its species have been reassigned to other genera, some in the Ulidiidae, and some in other Tephritoid families. In the following list, the species are organized according to the families and genera to which they have been reassigned.
Ulidiini is a tribe of picture-winged flies in the family Ulidiidae that live in the arid and sub arid regions of the Palaearctic. There are three genera and around 100 species within the tribe. The tribe was first named in 1835; its type genus is Ulidia.
