Nemestrinidae View in CoL View at ENA ( Fig. 31 View FIGURES 26–31 )

The Nemestrinidae View in CoL comprises 275 species, grouped into five subfamilies and 23 extant genera ( Bernardi 1973; Woodley 2009). Bernardi (1973) divided the family into five subfamilies, Atriadopsinae, Cyclopsideinae, Hirmoneurinae, Nemestrininae and Trichopsideinae. Papavero & Bernardi (2009) corrected the names of the subfamilies Atriadopinae and Falleniinae and replaced them with those of Atriadopsinae and Trichopsideinae, respectively. The knowledge of the family in the country is largely based on the works of Stuardo (1932, 1934, 1936) and Angulo (1971). For Chile, 39 species are grouped in four genera, Hyrmophlaeba Rondani View in CoL , Hirmoneuropsis Bequaert, Neorrhyncocephalus Lichtwardt View in CoL , and Trichophthalma Westwood ( Papavero & Bernardi 2009) View in CoL . An updated catalog of Chilean nemestrinids has been published by González et al. (2023a).

B. Section Heterodactyla

This monophyletic group contains all Brachycera flies with a reduced or absent tarsal empodium, although both characters are homoplasious ( Shin et al. 2018).
