The family Piophilidae comprises 102 species, grouped into two subfamilies and 20 genera ( Muller 2021). Initially, the CDASUS only included one genus present (i.e., Piophila Fallén ), although currently, three species in three genera have been cited, Piophila ( P. casei Linnaeus ), Stearibia Lioy ( S. nigriceps ), and Prochyliza Walker ( P. nigrimana (Meigen)) . All three species have been introduced to Chile ( Ozerov & Norrbom 2010).
