Acontistoptera is a genus of flies in the family Phoridae.

Menozziola is a genus of flies in the family Phoridae.

Cataclinusa is a genus of flies in the family Phoridae.

Borophaga is a genus of phorid flies.

Pseudacteon is a genus of flies in the family Phoridae. There are over 70 described species of Pseudacteon fly. They are also known as ant-decapitating flies due to their parasitic larval stage. An egg is injected by the female fly into the shoulder joint of an ant worker. Soon after, the egg undergoes rapid inflation as it appears to absorb ant hemolymph. This first instar larva migrates into the ant head and consumes the jaw muscle and other tissues, leaving the mandibles hanging and preparing a future exit space. After about two weeks, the ant worker is termed a "zombie" because the fly lar

Trophithauma is a genus of flies in the family Phoridae.

Melaloncha is a genus of phorid flies (Diptera: Phoridae) commonly referred to as "bee-killing flies". They are found almost exclusively in the Neotropical realm, although there is one record from extreme southern Texas, United States. They are small flies, usually about in length. No true fossils are known, although there are some specimens in Colombian copal, of unknown (but likely relatively recent) age.

Phymatopterella is a genus of flies in the family Phoridae.

Rhyncophoromyia is a genus of flies in the family Phoridae.

Auxanommatidia is a genus of flies in the family Phoridae.

Pericyclocera is a genus of flies in the family Phoridae.

Agathomyia is a genus of flat-footed flies in the family Platypezidae. Agothomyia is found in every zoogeographic region except the Afrotropical and is the largest genus of Platypezidae, comprising more than 50 species.

Ecitoptera is a genus of flies in the family Phoridae.

Acanthophorides is a genus of flies in the family Phoridae.

Microsania is a genus of flat-footed flies in the family Platypezidae and the sole genus in the smoke fly subfamily Microsaniinae. This cosmopolitan genus is typically attracted to smoke, such as from campfires in natural park settings. Unlike other members of the family, adults often carry variable loads of phoretic mites. The larval habits remain unknown, but some associated mites have been identified as dung- and compost-breeding species of the genus Macrocheles, suggesting these substrates may serve as potential sites for late-stage larvae prior to pupation.

The Opetiidae is a family of true flies of the superfamily Platypezoidea, one of two families commonly called flat-footed flies. The family contains only five extant species in two genera, Opetia from the Palearctic region and Puyehuemyia from Chile in South America. Several fossil genera have been assigned to the family, but many of these are likely to belong elsewhere in the Platypezoidea. Lonchopterites from the Early Cretaceous Lebanese amber and Electrosania from the Late Cretaceous New Jersey amber seem likely to be closely related to modern opetiids.

Platypezina is a genus of flat-footed flies in the family Platypezidae.

Styletta is a genus of flies in the family Phoridae.
