From Wikipedia:
The Fanniidae are a small (285 species in 4 genera) group of true flies largely confined to the Holarctic and temperate Neotropical regions.
There are 11 Afrotropical species, 29 Oriental, and 14 Australasian. See Biogeographic Regions.
Adults are medium-sized to small and usually have mainly dark body and leg colour. Males congregate in characteristic dancing swarms beneath trees; females are more retiring in habit. Larvae are characterised by their flattened bodies with striking lateral protuberances, and live as scavengers in various kinds of decaying organic matter.
Lesser housefly Fannia canicularis is a worldwide synanthropic species.
