The family Scathophagidae comprises approximately 500 species, grouped into two subfamilies and 66 extant genera ( Vockeroth 2010). The family was not treated in the CDASUS. For Chile, only two species are cited, Scatophaga chilensis (Albuquerque) and S. tropicalis Malloch ( González & Henry 1989; Bernasconi & Šifner 2021).
