Hippoboscoidea (lat.) - a superfamily of parasitic round-wing flies from the suborder of Brachycera dipterans . More than 500 species, including tsetse flies , bloodsuckers , wingless cave Mormotomyia hirsuta . They feed on the blood of vertebrates. The 6th abdominal tergite of males is unmodified and almost the same length as the 5th tergite; 10th sternite undivided. In females, the 6th and 7th segments are relatively unmodified. Vibrissae in both sexes are undifferentiated. The superfamily Hippoboscoidea is divided into two monophyletic sister subgroups ( Glossinidae + Hippoboscidae and Streblidae + Nycteribiidae ) and is considered by the sister group to the rest of Calyptratae ( Muscoidea and Oestroidea ) [1] [2] .
Tsetse ( Glossinidae ), 23 species
Bloodsuckers ( Hippoboscidae ), 200 species
Mormotomyia hirsuta , the only species of the family Mormotomyiidae
