Billefluer (Celyphidae) er en familie af fluer. Billefluers scutellum, som er den bagerste rygplade på fluens thorax (brystdel), er stærkt forlænget og dækker bagkroppen og vingerne når de er sammenfoldede. Den er metalfarvet og ligner derved en billes dækvinger. Der er omkring 100 arter af billefluer i tropiske egne, bortset fra Central- og Sydamerika. Billefluer lever i fugtige områder. Larverne lever af forrådnende vegetation.[1]

Beetle flies (Celyphidae) are small to medium-sized and easily recognised. The scutellum is enlarged, forming a protective shell over the abdomen, giving them a beetle-like appearance. Also, like many beetles, Celyphidae are often shiny or metallic in colour. The wings, when at rest, are folded beneath the scutellar “shell” . About 90 species are known from the Oriental and Afrotropic biogeographic regions; Spaniocelyphus palmi is probably the commonest celyphid species in the Oriental region [PAPP et al., 2006: p.186f]. The biology of the family is poorly known. Adults are found in along streams and rivers, and in wet grassy areas. Larvae are saprophagous [WORLDLINGO] in decaying plant matter, likely feeding on associated microorganisms [S.D Gaimari].
