File:Rhinophora lepida.ogv Rhinophoridae is a family of flies (Diptera), commonly known as Woodlouse Flies,[2] found in all zoogeographic regions except Oceania, but mainly in the Palaearctic and Afrotropical regions.

They are small, slender, black, bristly flies phylogenetically close to the Tachinidae, although some authors consider them a sister group of the Calliphoridae. The larvae are mostly parasitoids of woodlice, beetles, spiders, and other arthropods, and occasionally snails.

By 2020, about 33 genera were placed in the family, with a total 177 species.[3]

Genera include:[3]
