There are three species in this subgenera Ameniamima. Flies in this subgenera show strong convergent resemblance to Calliphorid flies of genus Amenia. They can be separated by the Amenia flies have plumose antenna and a pair of silvery white pollinose spots on postalar position.

Species in subgenera Ameniamima can be identified by the followings;
- bright orange yellow head,
- four or five setae on postalar callus,
- metallic green, blue to black,
- with bold white pollen spots on thorax and abdomen, (NOT PRESENT)
