English term

"cluster flies"

English to Spanish Science Zoology Insects
I'd like to know how this type of flies are known in Spanish. I can't provide a whole sentence as context since the term appears in a table which classifies different fly species (for instance, blow flies, stable flies, fruit flies, etc). Within this type (cluster flies), Pollenia rudis, Eudasyphora cyanella, Musca autumnalis are included. The table is included in an article about fly control in poultry facilities and other livestock production facilities.

I think in Mexico are known as "moscas de rácimo". However, I couldn't find a reliable source. Any help would be appreciated it.

Thank you very much for your help.
