Pamelamyia is a genus of flat-footed flies (insects in the family Platypezidae). There is one described species, Pamelamyia stuckenbergorum.
Pipunculidae is a family of flies (Diptera) commonly termed big-headed flies, a reference to the large (holoptic) eyes, which cover nearly the entire head. The family is found worldwide and more than 1300 species have been described.
Platypezidae is a family of true flies of the superfamily Platypezoidea. The more than 250 species are found worldwide primarily in woodland habitats. A common name is flat-footed flies, but this is also used for the closely related Opetiidae which were included in the Platypezidae in former times.
The Opetiidae or flat-footed flies are members of a family of flies. The family contains only five extant species in two genera, Opetia, and Puyehuemyia. The remaining taxa are known only from fossils.
Atelestidae is a family of flies in the superfamily Empidoidea. The four genera were placed in a separate family in 1983; they were formerly either in Platypezidae or considered incertae sedis. While they are doubtless the most basal of the living Empidoidea, the monophyly of the family is not fully proven. The genus Nemedina seems to represent a most ancient lineage among the entire superfamily, while Meghyperus is probably not monophyletic in its present delimitation, and it is liable to be split up eventually, with some species being placed elsewhere. In 2010, the genus Alavesia, previously only known from Cretaceous fossils, was found alive in Namibia, subsequent species were also described from Brazil.
Ironomyiidae is a small family of flies in the order Diptera. Historically, they had been included in the family Platypezidae, and includes three extant species within the single extant genus Ironomyia endemic to Australia and a number of extinct fossil genera from North America and Asia extending back to the Early Cretaceous.
Callomyia is a genus of flies in the family Platypezidae. Some species can be found in Belgium.
Lindneromyia is a genus of flat-footed flies. There are at least 70 described species in Lindneromyia.
Polyporivora is a genus of flat-footed flies. There are about eight described species in Polyporivora.
Bertamyia is a genus of flat-footed flies. There are two described species Bertamyia notata and Bertamyia umacibise.
Grossoseta is a genus of flat-footed flies. There are at least two described species in Grossoseta.
Seri is a genus of flat-footed flies in the family Platypezidae.
Metaclythia is a genus of flat-footed flies. There is one described species, Metaclythia currani.
