They are small, slender, black, bristly flies phylogenetically close to the Tachinidae, although some authors consider them a sister group of te Calliphoridae. The larvae are mostly parasitoids of woodlice, beetles, spiders, and other arthropods, and occasionally snails.
By 2014, about 23 genera were placed in the family, with a total of about 150 species.[2] More are being described occasionally.[3]
Genera include:[4]
- Acompomintho Villeneuve, 1927[3]
