Scenopinidae or Window Flies are a small (~400 described species) family of flies, distributed worldwide. In buildings they are often taken at windows, hence the common name window flies. There are 2 species with cosmopolitan distributions, associated with the movement of trade goods (Scenopinus fenestralis and S. glabrifrons).

dbpprop:abstract
  • Scenopinidae or Window Flies are a small (~400 described species) family of flies, distributed worldwide. In buildings they are often taken at windows, hence the common name window flies. There are 2 species with cosmopolitan distributions, associated with the movement of trade goods (Scenopinus fenestralis and S. glabrifrons). Very little is known of the larval biology; larvae have been found associated with stored-grain pests, in nests of birds and rodents, in beetle larvae burrows in trees and shrubs, and in association with therevid larvae in soil. They may be predators of the larvae of other insects. Adults have sponging mouthparts and are found on open flowers.
  • Die Fensterfliegen (Scenopinidae) sind eine Familie der Zweiflügler (Diptera). Hier werden sie zu den Fliegen gezählt.
  • Scenopinidae Westwood, 1840, è una famiglia cosmopolita di Insetti dell'ordine dei Ditteri, comprendente oltre 400 specie. Sono noti, in inglese, con il nome comune di window flies ("mosche della finestra"). Questa denominazione fa riferimento al comportamento particolare degli adulti di Scenopinus fenestralis, le cui larve si sviluppano spesso in ambienti domestici e gli adulti sfarfallati tendono a posarsi generalmente sulle finestre all'interno delle abitazioni.
  • Vindusfluer (Scenopinidae) er en liten familie av små, mørke fluer som har fått navnet sitt fordi noen av artene kan påtreffes tallrike i vinduskarmer.
