- Kingdom: Animalia
- Phylum: Arthropoda
- Class: Insecta

- Family: Tachinidae
- Genus: Acemya
Visual Description
Acemya flies exhibit a robust, typical tachinid body form. Observations from the TreeOfLife-200M dataset indicate that these flies possess a patterned thorax and abdomen, often with a grayish or mottled appearance.[1] The abdomen is characterized by distinct dark markings or spots against a lighter, often grayish background, and the body is covered in prominent, stiff bristles (macrochaetae), which are characteristic of the family Tachinidae.[1]
Nomenclatural History
The genus-group name Acemyia was established by Robineau-Desvoidy in 1830.[2] It is recognized as the senior synonym of Acemyia Macquart, 1834, which is now treated as a synonym.[3]
