Helina is a very large genus from the fly family Muscidae.
Delia flies are members of the Anthomyiidae family within the superfamily Muscoidae. The identification of different species of Delia can be very difficult for non-specialists as the diagnostic characteristics used for immature and/or female specimens may be inconsistent between species. Past taxonomic keys were not as comprehensive in their identification of Delia specimens; they were either too reliant on genetic characteristics, focused solely on a specific life stage, or were focused only on certain species. However current taxonomic keys aim to be more thorough by not only including morphological diagnostics for males, females, and immature specimens of various species, but also their genetic make-up or molecular barcode.
Pegomya is a genus of flies within the family Anthomyiidae. Some species are considered pests due to their leafmining larvae. Species include:
Fannia is a very large genus of approximately 288 species of flies. The genus was originally described by the French entomologist Jean-Baptiste Robineau-Desvoidy in 1830. A number of species were formerly placed in the genus Musca.
The genus Scathophaga are small to medium sized predatory flies that for the most part, have larvae that feed on other insect larva within animal dung or decaying vegetable matter. Many are highly variable, sometimes producing small, infertile males that superficially resemble females. This species is an example of an organism which may selectively store the sperm of multiple males, as females have three to four spermathecae.
Hydrotaea is a genus of insects in the housefly family, Muscidae. They occur in most regions of the world but are more populous in warmer climates. They are often found on feces in summer months, and are therefore generally found in close proximity to livestock. Among the 130 known species in this genus, one of the most commonly recognized is the dump fly.
Coenosia is a very large genus of true flies of the family Muscidae.
Spilogona is a very large genus of flies from the family Muscidae.
Mydaea is a large genus from the fly family Muscidae.
Caricea is a genus of house flies, in the family Muscidae. There are at least 30 described species in Caricea.
Leucophora is a genus of root-maggot flies in the family Anthomyiidae. There are at least 60 described species in Leucophora.
Philygria is a genus of shore flies.
Eustalomyia is a genus of root-maggot flies in the family Anthomyiidae. There are about five described species in Eustalomyia. They are kleptoparasites that consume paralyzed prey meant for Crabronidae larvae.
Chirosia is a genus of root-maggot flies in the family Anthomyiidae. There are over fifty described species in Chirosia.
Egle is a genus of willow catkin flies in the family Anthomyiidae. There are at least 40 described species in Egle.
Alliopsis is a genus of root-maggot flies in the family Anthomyiidae. There are at least 70 described species in Alliopsis.
Fucellia maritima is a Palearctic and Nearctic species of kelp fly in the family Anthomyiidae. Adults are found in large numbers from March to September on the British Isles coast. The species is particularly attracted to Fucus sp. and Laminaria sp. seaweed.
