Afrocamilla
Afrocamilla is a genus of small flies in the family Camillidae, established by Barraclough in 1992. The genus is endemic to Africa, distinguishing it from the primarily Australasian distribution of related camillid genera. As part of the poorly known family Camillidae, Afrocamilla species are minute acalyptrate flies associated with decaying organic matter. The family Camillidae is placed in the superfamily Opomyzoidea within the large suborder Brachycera.
Anthomyzidae
Anthomyzid Flies
Anthomyzidae are small, slender acalyptrate flies ranging from yellow to black in coloration. The family comprises fewer than 100 described species distributed across approximately 13 genera, with highest diversity in the Holarctic region. Members are characterized by narrow, elongated wings that may display distinct markings or, in some species, exhibit wing polymorphism with greatly reduced wings. The family has been recorded from all major biogeographic regions including the Nearctic, Palaearctic, Oriental, Afrotropical, Australian, and Oceanian regions, with recent discoveries extending its known range to New Zealand and China.
