Anthomyiidae Study Group
The family Anthomyiidae includes 238 species.
Begun in 1996, this is a small study group concerned with testing manuscript keys and supplying illustrations of male and female genitalia.
This is a relatively demanding family to identify, with strong reliance on genitalia characters in both sexes. Many of the species have larvae that develop in plants, but other life histories include species that are cleptoparasites of solitary bees and wasps. The Study Group produces newsletters with keys and notes.
