Lions ^[1] ^[2] ^[3] ( lat. Stratiomyidae ) is a rather large family of dipterans insects , numbering about 2800 species.

Description

The body is flattened, often painted in bright colors (often with a metallic sheen), also have thin transparent wings and have peculiar antennae (having a ring-shaped last segment).

Ecology and habitats

Larvae develop in soil, manure, and rotting wood. The larvae are saturated with calcium carbonate and provide good protection for both the larvae and the pupa , which forms inside the larvae.

Classification

The family includes about 2800 species, 385 genera and 12 subfamilies ^[4] ^[5] ^[6] :

Antissinae Kertész, 1908
Beridinae Westwood , 1838
Chiromyzinae Brauer , 1880
Chrysochlorininae Woodley, 2001
Clitellariinae Brauer, 1882
Hermetiinae Loew , 1862
Nemotelinae Kertész, 1912
Pachygastrinae Loew, 1856
Parhadrestiinae Woodley, 1989
Raphiocerinae Schiner , 1868
Sarginae Walker , 1834
Stratiomyinae Latreille , 1802

Distribution

Meet everywhere. In the forests of the northern part of Eurasia , more than one hundred species are found.
