Platypezidae
Platypezidae is a family (biology), family of Fly, true flies of the Taxonomic rank, superfamily Platypezoidea. The more than 250 species are Cosmopolitan distribution, found worldwide primarily in woodland habitats. A common name is flat-footed flies, but this is also used for the closely related Opetiidae which were included in the Platypezidae in former times. Some other genera formerly included here have been recognized as quite more distant and are nowadays placed in the Asilomorpha, asilomorph family Atelestidae. Description For terms see Morphology of Diptera. Platypezidae are minute to medium sized (1.5–6 mm) slender or robust flies. The male and female usually differ in colour. Males in particular are often all black, one or both sexes may be in part or all grey or yellow. Markings may be orange, grey or silver. The abdomen may have two colours. Males have holoptic eyes. The antenna has three segments, the third is the largest and bears a long, apical arista ...

Opetiidae
The Opetiidae or flat-footed flies are members of a family of flies (insects of the Order Diptera). 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. Family description Se Classification Opetiidae was formerly in Platypezidae. *†'' Lithopetia'' Zhang, 1987 **†'' Lithopetia hirsuta'' Zhang, 1987 *'' Opetia'' Meigen, 1830 Palearctic, Oligocene-Recent **'' Opetia aberrans'' Shatalkin, 1985 **'' Opetia alticola'' Saigusa, 1963 **'' Opetia anomalipennis'' Saigusa, 1963 **†'' Opetia atra'' Statz, 1940 Rott Formation The Rott Formation is a geologic formation in Germany ...
