Stratiomyoidea is a superfamily of flies (order Diptera).
The antennae have a primitive structure. A characteristic morphological characteristic of one family, Pantophthalmidae, is the size of the body: this family includes some species that are among the largest Diptera, reaching wingspans of up to 10 cm.
