Conopidae ( Figs. 76–78 )

The family comprises over 810 species, grouped into five subfamilies and 55 genera (excluding extinct subfamilies) ( Gibson & Skevington 2013; Stuke 2017, 2021). In Chile, Barahona-Segovia & Barceló (2020) reviewed Myopa Fabricius , while Barahona-Segovia et al. (2020b) reviewed Physoconops Szilády , describing new species for both genera. Additionally, the genera Physocephala Schiner and Zodion Latreille are represented by one and two species, respectively, but many more are undescribed or are new records for Chile (R. Barahona-Segovia, unpublished data). The total number of genera increased to 5 while the number of species added to 12, compared with CDASUS.
