 Sciomyzidae -- a/o cat.
The familial placement of the Huttonininae, with 2 genera and 9 species, is not certain, and this group is tentatively referred to the Sciomyzidae (Barnes 1979a).
Larvae of Eulimnia feed on sphaeriid clams, and larvae of Neolimnia feed on aquatic or terrestrial, pulmonate, or operculate prosobranch snails (Lynch 1965; Neff and Berg 1966; Fontana 1972; Bhuangprakone and Areekul 1973; Beaver et al.
Several species of Sciomyzidae were introduced into the Hawaiian Islands as biological control agents for aquatic snails that are intermediate hosts of Fasciola, but only Sepedomerus macropus and Sepedon aenescens are believed to be established (Davis 1960, Chock et al.

 Sciomyzidae Recording Scheme   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
A total of 69 species are listed in Chandler (1998), comprising 67 species of Sciomyzidae (with one species added since) and 2 species of Phaeomyiidae.
They are fairly easy to recognise in general appearance, with the combination of porrect (=pointing forward) antennae and a habit of stretching out their fore legs when walking in a net.
The Sciomyzidae are snail-killing flies, the larvae of different species being predators or parasitoids of either aquatic or terrestrial snails (and a few specialise on slugs or pea-clams).

 CSIRO European Lab - Mediterranean snails
Of these, flies in the families Sciomyzidae and the Sarcophagidae seem to have the greatest biocontrol potential (Coupland, 1994, Coupland and Baker, 1994, Coupland, Espiau and Baker, 1994, Coupland and Baker, 1995; Coupland, 1996a, 1996b).
The family Sciomyzidae are parasitoids and predators of both terrestrial and aquatic snails.
Since Berg (1953,1966) drew attention to the malacophagous nature of these flies and recognised their potential as biological control agents of vector snails, intensive study has been carried out on their biology (see review in Berg and Knutson,1971).

The larvae are predaceous and usually feed on snails, slugs and also snail eggs.
Sciomyzidae are small to medium sized flies, usually yellowish or brownish and often with patterned wings.
The legs are elongated and the antennae are often longer than in similar flies.

Sciomyzidae larvae have the head capsule reduced to a cephalic skeleton, in which there is a ventral arch connecting the mouth hooks on each side.
The rather similar Ephydrid and Muscid larvae lack this ventral arch.
In Europe and Africa, many life histories are known because sciomyzids are potential biocontrol agents for schistosome harbouring aquatic molluscs.

Members of the family Sciomyzidae, commonly called marsh flies, are comprised of some 600 species in 60 or so genera found worldwide.
Some species are effective enough in their predatory habits to have been introduced into various places as biological control agents.
The fossil record of Sciomyzidae is one of the better for the higher acalypterate flies, there being 13 described species in 6 genera (all restricted to the Tertiary).

Systematics of the snail-killing flies in the tribe Tetanocerini (Diptera: Sciomyzidae): evolution of larval feeding strategies in the genus Tetanocera
Kent State University, Department of Biological Sciences, Cunningham Hall, Kent, OH The family Sciomyzidae or “snail-killing flies” (Diptera: Acalyptratae) are predators, parasitoids, or saprophages on a wide variety of gastropods, as well as fingernail clams and freshwater oligochaete worms.
Members of the family have been grouped into 17 feeding guilds based on feeding behavior, type of host/prey, and larval microhabitat.

Predation is found in some Chironomidae, Ceratopogonidae and many aquatic Empididae, Dolichopodidae and Muscidae).
Specialised aquatic habitats include snail parasitism (Sciomyzidae) and thin water films (the hygropetric or madicolous zone) provides a home for some grazers (Thaumaleidae, some Psychodidae).
The Diptera are holometabolous, with usually 3-6 larval instars followed by a pupal stage (pupation or pupariation) where tissues are reorganised into the adult form.
