Dipterists Forum, Muscidae and Fanniidae Study Group
The Muscidae are a highly diverse family including some large and noticeable species, such as Mesembrina meridiana, the well-known Musca domestica, and some confusion species, like the greenbottles in genus Neomyia. Many people have heard of house flies and may know a few of the more prominent species. Few people are aware of the full range of species. The British list currently includes 293 species in 40 genera. Although commonly called house flies, very few are truly synanthropic.
