Subfamily Atherigoninae Fan, 1965

This subfamily includes only one large genus of morphologically deviant Muscidae . It is obviously monophyletic, but its relationships remain uncertain.

• Atherigona Rondani, 1856 (Fig. 11A–B)

A total of 20+ named and unidentified species of Atherigona from the Old World tropics and Mediterranean subregion were examined. They invariably share state A0, in which vein C is wholly bare ventrally behind the lower anterior row of alternating spinules and setulae, as exemplified by A. orientalis Schiner, 1868 (Fig. 11A–B).
