Lucilia Robineau-Desvoidy, 1830 The Luciliinae are a subfamily of Calliphoridae, or blow flies.

According to Whitworth,[1] the distinguishing characteristics of this subfamily are its shining green, blue, or bronze thorax and abdomen, suprasquamal ridge with a setae cluster, and a bare lower calypter.

When measuring the head to frons ratios in females, the frons is not narrowest at the vertex as in most of the female Calliphoridae.
