Tephritidae ( Figs. 83–84 )

The Tephritidae are composed of over 4,800 species, grouped into six subfamilies and 500 genera ( Norrbom 2010). Foote (1980), Frías (1984, 1992, 2005), and Frías et al. (1993a, b) made several contributions to the knowledge of the family in Chile, which include 70 species assigned to 23 genera (González 2021).
