Larval stages of many Diptera species can be found in soil and many species developing in other terrestrial habitats such as dung carrion or other pupate in soil. Chironomide, Sciaridae, Cecidomiidae are most abundant in terms of biomass Tipulidae and bibiobidae dominate. [2]
Diptera is a large order containing more than 150,000 species including horse-flies, [a] crane flies, hoverflies, mosquitoes and others. Flies have a mobile head, with a pair of large compound eyes , and mouthparts designed for piercing and sucking (mosquitoes, black flies and robber flies), or for lapping and sucking in the other groups.
This is a list of the families of the order Diptera (true flies). The classification is based largely on Pape et al. (2011). Many of the fossil species are of uncertain placement and are retained in separate lists broadly under Nematocera and Brachycera. [1]
Adults are small (< 2 millimetres (5 ⁄ 64 in)) to medium-sized insects (- < 10 millimetres (25 ⁄ 64 in)). Larger Diptera are rare, only certain families of Diptera Mydidae and Pantophthalmidae reach 95–100 millimetres (3 + 3 ⁄ 4 –4 in) wingspan while tropical species of Tipulidae have been recorded at over 100 millimetres (4 in).

The number of species in the order Diptera (true flies) known to occur in Ireland is 3,304. There are 98 Dipteran families in Ireland. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] For genera and species within the various Families, see Fauna Europaea .
This is one of the least studied of the large Diptera families, probably due to the small size of these insects and the similarity among species. [2] Currently, around 1700 species are described, but an estimated 20,000 species are awaiting discovery, mainly in the tropics. More than 600 species are known from Europe. [3]
Sphaeroceridae are a family of true flies in the order Diptera, often called small dung flies, lesser dung flies or lesser corpse flies due to their saprophagous habits. They belong to the typical fly suborder Brachycera as can be seen by their short antennae, and more precisely they are members of the section Schizophora.
