All described species of Scathophagidae from Africa are in genus Scathophaga and have only a single katepisternal bristle. I looked at three of Ackaland's papers on African Anthomyiidae and did not find any matches in Anthomyia, Delia, or Emmesomyia. Dichoptic males are rare. There are at least two species groups of dichoptic Anthomyia elsewhere in the world, with A. monilis and A. punctipennis as typical species.
