The Tachinidae are a large and variable family of true flies within the insect order Diptera, with more than 8,200 known species and many more to be discovered. Over 1,300 species have been described in North America alone. Insects in this family commonly are called tachinid flies or simply tachinids. As far as is known, they all are protelean parasitoids, or occasionally parasites, of arthropods, usually other insects. The family is known from many habitats in all zoogeographical regions and is especially diverse in South America.
Ormia is a small genus of nocturnal flies in the family Tachinidae, that are parasitoids of crickets.
Belvosia is a genus of flies in the family Tachinidae.
Celatoria is a genus of flies in the family Tachinidae. Larvae are parasitoids of leaf beetles.
Dichocera is a genus of flies in the family Tachinidae. The genus Ceuthophilus is known to be a host of this parasitoid, possibly of the lyrata species.
Hyphantrophaga is a genus of flies in the family Tachinidae.
Psecacera is a genus of flies in the family Tachinidae.
Trigonospila is a small genus of parasitic flies in the family Tachinidae.
Lixophaga is a genus of flies in the family Tachinidae.
Pseudopachystylum is a genus of flies in the family Tachinidae. It is a parasitoid of sawflies from the family Pamphiliidae.
Dexia is a genus of flies in the family Tachinidae. Most larvae are parasitoids of beetles (Scarabaeidae).
Voriini is a tribe of flies in the family Tachinidae. More junior homonyms exist of Wagneria than any other animal genus name.
Exoristinae is a subfamily of flies in the family Tachinidae. Most species are parasitoids of caterpillars.
Blondeliini is a tribe of parasitic flies in the family Tachinidae. Larvae are parasitoids of other insects, mostly beetles and caterpillars. Although nearly cosmopolitan, its greatest diversity is in the New World and especially in South America.
Goniini is a tribe of parasitic flies in the family Tachinidae. Members of Goniini are distinguished from other Tachinidae by laying small "microtype" eggs that hatch only after being ingested by a host.
Phasiinae is a subfamily of flies in the family Tachinidae. Except for the small tribe Strongygastrini members of this subfamily attack only Heteroptera.
Catharosiini is a tribe of flies in the family Tachinidae, containing two genera. Catharosia is a genus of small flies, less than 2 mm in length, and contains about 12 species. Stackelbergomyia is a monotypic genus found in the Palearctic.
Archytas apicifer is a medium to large sized Nearctic tachinid fly. The species name was authored by the German entomologist Johann Friedrich Jaennicke (1867) and presumably named after the Greek classical philosopher and mathematician Archytas. The larvae are parasites of several caterpillar species.
