They are currently assigned to the families Scathophagidae (1), Fanniidae (7), Anthomyiidae (24), Muscidae (93), Lonchaeidae (2), and unplaced (1). The species are dealt with alphabetically, with references to the original description and material, the extant type-material is discussed, and current taxonomic assignments and synonymies are given.
