Hay alrededor de 18.000 especies descritas en este grupo, o sea alrededor del 12% de todas las moscas descritas. Son de distribución mundial.[1] Belvosia (familia Tachinidae) Mesembrinella caenozoica en ámbar Taxonomía Superfamilia Muscoidea Anthomyiidae Fanniidae Muscidae Scathophagidae Superfamilia Oestroidea Calliphoridae Mystacinobiidae Oestridae Rhinophoridae Sarcophagidae Tachinidae Ulurumyiidae[2] Superfamilia Hippoboscoidea Glossinidae (Glossina) Hippoboscidae Mormotomyiidae (ahora en Ephydroidea.[3] Nycteribiidae Streblidae (posiblemente no monofilética) Referencias ↑ Kutty, S.
