Stomoxys is a genus of flies in the family Muscidae. [2] [3] The genus is unusual among the Muscidae in that it includes species that are bloodsucking ectoparasites of mammals. The best-known species is Stomoxys calcitrans , most commonly known as the stable fly.

The genus is small, comprising a dozen or two described species, and current evidence suggests that it is paraphyletic as well. [4]
