Practically all Afrotropical species known so far may readily be assigned to one of the following 11 genera, originally proposed for Palaearctic species: Anthomyia Meigen, 1803, Botanophila Lioy, 1864, Calythea Schnabl & Dziedzicki, 1911, Chirosiomima Hennig, 1966, Delia Robineau-Desvoidy, 1830, Emmesomyia Malloch, 1917, Enneastigma Stein, 1916, Fucellia Robineau-Desvoidy, 1841, Lasiomma Stein, 1916, Leucophora Robineau-Desvoidy, 1830 and Pegomya Robineau-Desvoidy, 1830.

Similar articulations between the surstyli and epandrium are found in the majority of anthomyiid genera including Anthomyia, Botanophila and Delia.
