Richardiidae is a family of Diptera in the superfamily Tephritoidea.
This is a small family that consists of just over thirty genera and 175 species. Almost all species are Neotropical. Generally the biology of Richardiidae is little known. Some of the larvae are plant feeders or saprophages in decaying plant material. One species, the pineapple fruit fly Melanoloma viatrix, has been reported as a pest of pineapples.[1] Most adults have some general features; conspicuously pictured wings, often with metallic blue or greenish colors on body and legs, and a typical tephritoid ovipositor.[2]
