I think you mean 'Anthomyzidae'.
And not all Anthomyzidae have the fore femoral spine. I recently saw an 'atypical' anthomyizid from Spain (
Santhomyza inermis) that has a rather un-anthomyzid like appearance and, as the name already tells you, no spine. Other genera without the spines are
Anagnota,
Cercagnota,
Stiphrosoma,
Typhamyza and
Amygdalops.
