The Acalyptratae are a subsection of the Schizophora, commonly referred to as the acalyptrate muscoids (or simply acalyptrates). It is a very large assemblage, exhibiting very diverse habits, with one notable and perhaps surprising exception; no known acalyptrates are obligate blood-feeders (hematophagous), though this life history is common throughout the remaining Diptera.
