Therevidae View in CoL View at ENA ( Figs 48–49 View FIGURES 44–49 )
Therevids comprise more than 1,170 species, grouped into four subfamilies and 124 genera ( Hauser et al. 2017b). The family was not treated in CDASUS. Webb et al. (2013) compiled the first catalog of this family in the New World, with 255 species distributed among 45 genera. Recently, Irwin & Winterton (2020a) added a new genus, Dasythereva Irwin & Winterton with two new species: D. penai and D. patagonia . Posteriorly, the genus Sigalopella Irwin & Winterton was created with four new and endemic species in Chile ( Irwin & Winterton 2020b). The genus Argolepida Metz & Irwin was cited for the first time in Chile by Irwin & Winterton (2021a) and described four new species for the country. Later, Irwin & Winterton (2021b) described four new species of Pachyrrhyza Philippi. Finally, Winterton & Irwin (2023) recently revised the genera Entesia Oldroyd , Melanothereva Malloch , added six new species and described a new genus, Pachylopella Winterton & Irwin , with the species P. antennata Winterton & Irwin. For Chile, the number of genera is 13 and 39 species are cited.
C. Section Eremoneura
This large group includes flies that have only three larval instars, and their monophyly is well-supported by molecular data ( Wiegmann et al. 2011; Shin et al. 2018).
