Rutilia is a large genus of medium to large (>20mm) flies in the family Tachinidae native to Australia and the Oriental region.[1][2] Like the vast majority of tachinid flies, Rutilia species are parasitoids of other insects, specifically Rutilia are known to be parasitoids of late instar larvae of Scarabaeidae.
