Australasian/Oceanian Diptera Catalog -- Web Version

Members of the Phoridae are generally small, humpbacked flies of a black, brown, or yellow color. They are commonly found around decaying animal or vegetable matter and sometimes in and around the nests of ants, termites, and bees. Adults have a characteristic quick, jerky movement when running. Brachypterous females occur in some species. Immature stages are either scavengers or parasitic. Parasitic forms are often found in nests of ants and termites; others have been recorded from Coccinellidae, social Hymenoptera, Lepidoptera, land snails, and Diplopoda.

Literature on Australasian/Oceanian Phoridae is sparse and scattered among many publications. A definitive treatment of the Australasian/Oceanian Phoridae is badly needed. Borgmeier's (1968) world catalog brought together all the literature on Phoridae and is the basis for the treatment in this catalog. Disney (1983) serves as a brief introduction to the family.
