The more than 250 species are Cosmopolitan distribution, found worldwide primarily in woodland habitats.

Integrated Taxonomic Information System
The Integrated Taxonomic Information System (ITIS) is an American partnership of federal agencies designed to provide consistent and reliable information on the taxonomy of biological species. ITIS was originally formed in 1996 as an interagency group within the US federal government, involving several US federal agencies, and has now become an international body, with Canadian and Mexican government agencies participating. The database draws from a large community of taxonomic experts. Primary content staff are housed at the Smithsonian National Museum of Natural History and IT services are provided by a US Geological Survey facility in Denver. The primary focus of ITIS is North American species, but many biological groups exist worldwide and ITIS collaborates with other agencies to increase its global coverage. Reference database ITIS provides an automated reference database of scientific and common names for species. As of May 2016, it contains over 839,000 scientific names, ...

Platypezoidea Genera
The Platypezoidea are a superfamily of true flies of the section Aschiza. Their closest living relatives are the Syrphoidea, which, for example, contain the hoverflies. Like these, the adults do not burst open their pupal cases with a ptilinum when hatching, thus the Aschiza do not have the inverted-U-shaped suture above the antennae. They are, however, muscomorphs, thus have a particular type of pupal case resembling a rounded barrel and called puparium. Families Five families are placed in the Platypezoidea, listed below in taxonomic sequence: * Phoridae - coffin and scuttle flies (includes Sciadoceridae) * Opetiidae - flat-footed flies * Ironomyiidae - ironic flies * Lonchopteridae - spear-winged flies, pointed-wing flies * Platypezidae Platypezidae is a family (biology), family of Fly, true flies of the Taxonomic rank, superfamily Platypezoidea.
