Hippoboscidae ( Fig. 111 )

The family Hippoboscidae comprises approximately 200 species, grouped into three subfamilies and 21 extant genera ( Maa 1969), two of which are known from the Neotropical Region ( Wood 2010). Bequaert (1934) published one of the first lists of the species of Chile. Chile has ten species in eight genera, as listed by Guimarães (1968) and Maa (1969). Lipoptena pudui Peterson & Maa was described ( Peterson & Maa 1970) after the publication of the CADSUS.
