== Classification ==

The Piophilidae are a small family of less than 100 [[Species description|described]] species in 21 genera, mainly [[Holarctic]] in distribution, though some species are [[Cosmopolitan distribution|cosmopolitan]]. The nomenclature is volatile, with two subfamily names (Neottiophilinae and Thyreophorinae) in use recently, having been subsumed in the subfamily Piophilinae.
