List all the suborders under order diptera

[Nematocera] Biting midge (Culicoides)

Small wing with light and dark spots; 2 radial cells

[Nematocera] Black fly (Simulium)

broad wing; thick front veins, the rest faint; no scales

[Nematocera] Sand fly/Moth fly (Psychodidae)

leaf-shaped, hairy; many straight parallel veins, almost no crossveins; held up in a V (sand fly) or roof-like (moth fly)

[brachycera, tabanidae] Horse fly (Tabanus)

veins R4 and R5 form a wide Y-fork around the wing tip; large discal cell. Chrysops has a dark crossband; Haematopota has mottled wings

[brachycera, tabanidae] Deer fly (Chrysops)

veins R4 and R5 form a wide Y-fork around the wing tip; dark crossband.

[brachycera, tabanidae] Cleg fly (Haematopota)

Veins R4 and R5 form a wide Y-fork around the wing tip; mottled wings.

[cyclorrhapha, glossinidae] Tsetse fly (Glossina)

"Hatchet" (cleaver) cell: the discal cell is shaped like an axe; at rest, the wings fold flat over each other like closed scissors.

[cyclorrhapha, muscidae] House fly (Musca)

vein M1+2 bends sharply forward toward R4+5, narrowing cell r5 at the tip

[cyclorrhapha, muscidae] Stable fly (Stomoxys)

vein M1+2 curves gently forward; cell r5 stays open

[cyclorrhapha, muscidae] Horn fly (Haematobia)

Vein M1+2 runs almost straight to the edge, curving only very slightly forward, and ends just behind the wing tip

[cyclorrhapha, muscidae] Lesser House Fly, Latrine Fly (Fannia)

vein M1+2 runs completely straight to the wing edge (no bend at all), so cell r5 stays wide open. Key clue at the back of the wing: the short anal vein (A1) and the next vein (A2) curve toward each other, so if you extended them they would meet before the wing edge.

[cyclorrhapha, Calliphoridae] Blue bottle fly (Calliphora)

M1+2 has a sharp bend, like Musca. The stem vein (the base of R) has bristles. Calypters are dark. Blue abdomen.

[cyclorrhapha, Calliphoridae] Green bottle fly (Lucilia)

— Same bent wing with a bristly stem vein. Calypters are pale. Metallic green body.

[cyclorrhapha, Calliphoridae] Black blow fly (Phormia)

— Same bent wing. Black-blue body with orange hairs

[cyclorrhapha, Drosophilidae] Fruit fly (Drosophila melanogaster)

— Tiny with red eyes. The costa is broken twice near the base. The veins are simple, with no bend.

[cyclorrhapha, Tephritidae] Bactrocera

— Patterned wing. The subcosta bends sharply forward and fades out. A cell near the base at the back has a long pointed lobe.

[cyclorrhapha, Syrphidae] Allograpta

— A spurious vein, a faint false vein through the middle of the wing. The veins form a false margin along the edge.

Body: yellow-and-black banded, like a wasp, but with only one pair of wings.
