Aldrichiomyza is a genus of freeloader flies in the family Milichiidae.
The family Sciomyzidae belongs to the typical flies (Brachycera) of the order Diptera. They are commonly called marsh flies, and in some cases snail-killing flies due to the food of their larvae.
The Lauxaniidae are a family of acalyptrate flies. They generally are small flies with large compound eyes that often are brightly coloured in life, sometimes with characteristic horizontal stripes, such as in Cestrotus species. Many species have variegated patterns on their wings, but in contrast they generally do not have variegated bodies, except for genera such as Cestrotus, whose camouflage mimics lichens or the texture of granitic rocks.
Odiniidae is a small family of flies. There are only 58 described species but there are representatives in all the major biogeographic realms.
Canacidae, incorrectly Canaceidae, or beach flies, surf or surge flies, is a family of Diptera. As of 2010, 307 species in 27 genera. The family now includes Tethininae as a subfamily.
The Coelopidae or kelp flies are a family of Acalyptratae flies, they are sometimes also called seaweed flies, although both terms are used for a number of seashore Diptera. Fewer than 40 species occur worldwide. The family is found in temperate areas, with species occurring in the southern Afrotropical, Holarctic, and Australasian regions.
Milichiidae are a family of flies. Most species are very small and dark. Details of their biology have not yet been properly studied, but they are best known as kleptoparasites of predatory invertebrates, and accordingly are commonly known as freeloader flies or jackal flies. However, because of the conditions under which many species breed out, they also are known as filth flies.
The Strongylophthalmyiidae are a small family of about 80 species of slender, long-legged flies, the majority of which occur in the Oriental and Australasian regions. They are divided into two genera, the monotypic Southeast Asian genus Nartshukia Shatalkin, 1993 and Strongylophthalmyia Heller, 1902. The relationships of the group are obscure; formerly the genus Strongylophthalmyia was classified with the Psilidae, and some recent classifications place it within the Tanypezidae. Little is known of their biology, but many species seem to be associated with rotting bark.
Platystomatinae is a subfamily of flies (Diptera) in the family Platystomatidae that includes 80 genera, the largest subfamily with at last estimate, c. 900 species globally.
The broad-headed flies is a subfamily of flies. Until 2010, they were known from only one species based on four specimens and placed in the family Eurychoromyiidae.
Meiosimyza is a genus of small flies of the family Lauxaniidae.
Limosininae is a subfamily of flies belonging to the family Sphaeroceridae, the lesser dung flies.
Periscelis is a genus of flies in the family Periscelididae. There are about 15 described species in Periscelis.
Desmometopa is a genus of freeloader flies in the family Milichiidae. There are more than 50 described species in Desmometopa.
Madizinae is a subfamily of freeloader flies in the family Milichiidae. There are about 8 genera and more than 160 described species in Madizinae.
Phyllomyza is a genus of freeloader flies in the family Milichiidae. There are at least 30 described species in Phyllomyza.
Leptometopa is a genus of freeloader flies in the family Milichiidae. There are about 19 described species in Leptometopa.
Strongylophthalmyia are a genus of slender, long-legged flies, the majority of which occur in the Oriental and Australasian regions.
Sciomyzinae is a subfamily of flies in the family Sciomyzidae.
Discomyzinae is a subfamily of shore flies in the family Ephydridae.
