Madizinae is a subfamily of freeloader flies in the family Milichiidae. There are about 8 genera and more than 160 described species in Madizinae. [1] [2]
These eight genera belong to the subfamily Madizinae:
Dioscoreaceae is a family of monocotyledonous flowering plants, with about 715 known species in nine genera. The best-known member of the family is the yam.
Anthomyzidae is small, slender, yellow to black flies with narrow and elongated wings, which may have distinct markings. Some species have greatly reduced wings. Fewer than 100 species are known, mostly from Europe. Although they occur in all major regions, they seem to be most varied in the Holarctic region.
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.
Hybotidae, the typical dance flies, are a family of true flies. They belong to the superfamily Empidoidea and were formerly included in the Empididae as a subfamily.
Trichopezinae are a subfamily of empidoid flies. They are mainly predatory flies like most of their relatives, and generally small to medium-sized, long-legged and large-eyed.
Dolichocephala is a genus of dagger flies in the family Empididae. There are at least 50 described species in Dolichocephala.
Tachydromiinae is a subfamily of hybotid flies widespread in the world.
Periscelididae is a family of flies.
Brachystomatinae is a subfamily of flies belonging to the family Empididae.
Clinocerinae is a subfamily of flies belonging to the family Empididae.
Empidinae, also called dance flies, are a subfamily of empidoid flies. They are mainly predatory flies like most of their relatives, and generally small to medium-sized. Most species are flower visitors and they can be effective pollinators.
Heleomyzinae is a subfamily of flies in the family Heleomyzidae. There are about 17 genera and more than 400 described species in Heleomyzinae.
Geocoridae is a family of big-eyed bugs in the order Hemiptera. There are more than 290 described species in Geocoridae.
Scathophaginae is a subfamily of dung flies in the family Scathophagidae. There are at least 30 genera and 130 described species in Scathophaginae.
Heleomyzini is a tribe of flies in the family Heleomyzidae. There are about 10 genera and more than 180 described species in Heleomyzini.
Mumetopia is a genus of flies in the family Anthomyzidae. There are at least four described species in Mumetopia.
Nemognathinae is a subfamily of blister beetles in the family Meloidae. There are about 8 genera and at least 120 described species in Nemognathinae.
Sciomyzinae is a subfamily of flies in the family Sciomyzidae.
Drapetis is a genus of flies in the family Hybotidae.
