n. Caudal margin of the fifth ventral abdominal sclerite of the male deeply notched on the median line usually to beyond the middle; abdomen often cylindrical or linear; abdomen often with four to eight spots; eyes of the male usually widely separated; sternopleurals three, arranged in an equilateral triangle; subapical seta of the hind tibia placed very low; M_{1+2} straight; a.n.a.l vein abbreviated; wings not rilled.

nn. Caudal margin of the fifth ventral abdominal sclerite of the male incurved, rarely deeply cleft, rarely entire, in a few genera deeply two or three notched; M_{1+2} straight or curved; abdomen usually short or elongate oval; sternopleurals, if three are present, arranged in the order 1:2 in a right triangle. (MUSCINae-ANTHOMYIINae of Girschner)

o. M_{1+2} straight, hence cell R_5 not narrowed in the margin. ANTHOMYIIDae in part

p. Underside of the scutellum more or less spa.r.s.ely covered with fine hairs; a.n.a.l vein nearly always reaches the hind margin of the wing; extensor surface of the hind tibiae with a number of stout setae; squamae often small and equal. ANTHOMYIA, _Chortophila_, _Eustalomyia_, _Hammomyia_, _Hylemyia_, _Prosalpia_, _Pegomyia_, etc. HYLEMYINae-PEGOMYINae

pp. Underside of the scutellum bare; a.n.a.l vein does not reach the wing margin.
