Dryomyzidae

Description

The Dryomyzidae are a small family of flies ranging from 4–18 mm long, with prominent bristles, and yellow to brown or rust-yellow coloring. The wings are very large. The subcosta is complete and well separated from vein 1. Larvae feed on decaying organic matter - carrion, dung, and fungi.The prelambrum protrudes from the oral cavity. Vibrissae are absent and the postvertical bristles are divergent.
