Acroceridae ( Fig. 30 )

The family comprises over 422 species (extant and fossils), grouped into five subfamilies and 58 genera ( Winterton & Barraclough 2017; Gillung et al. 2018). The family was not treated in CDASUS. A recent catalog of the family for Chile listed 33 species in nine genera ( González et al. 2018). Recently, new species of Ogcodes Latreille and Holops Philippi were added by Barahona-Segovia et al. (2020a, 2021c), while González & Ramírez (2021) described a new genus for Chile: Coquena Schlinger , with a new species, C. coquimbensis González & Ramírez.
