Scathophagidae
:''Not to be confused with Scatophagidae, a fish family.''
The Scathophagidae is a small family of Muscoidea which are often known as "Dung-flies" although this name is not appropriate except for a few species of the genus ''Scathophaga'' which do indeed pass their larval stages in animal dung. The name probably derives from the "Common Yellow Dung-fly", ''S. stercoraria'', which is one of the most abundant and ubiquitous flies in many parts of the northern hemisphere.
==Description==
For terms see Morphology of Diptera.
Scathophagidae are medium-sized or quite small flies with a body length of 3.0 to 12.0 mm. The body is slender, especially in males, usually with an elongate cylindrical abdomen. Many Scatophaga appear more robust, however, due to a dense pubescence. Colour of body from yellow to black; some species are glossy, but never with a metallic gloss. Some species are bicolourous. The eyes are wide-set on the frons in males as well as females. The bristles on the head, thorax and legs are well developed. Occiput usually with pale, long hairs. The arista is bare to plumose. Interfrontal bristles are absent. The wing is usually clear but in some species has distinct marks or darkening at the tip or along the crossveins. The anal vein is long and usually reaches the wing margin. The meron is without bristles along the hind margin, near the posterior spiracle.
