They are small, slender, black, bristly flies phylogenetically close to the Tachinidae, formally many authors considered them a family, they are now a subfamily in the Calliphoridae.[4] The larvae are mostly parasitoids of woodlice, beetles, spiders, and other arthropods, and occasionally snails.
By 2020, about 33 genera were placed in the family, with a total 177 species.[3]
