Chyromyidae View in CoL

The Chyromyidae View in CoL is a small family of Acalyptratae. The family comprises over 189 species grouped into nine extant genera ( Ebejer 2021). Pires do Prado (1984) and Wheeler & Sinclair (1994) published records of species of the genus Aphaniosoma Becker View in CoL for Mexico and Galápagos Islands, respectively. Ebejer (2023) published the first records for the family in Chile, with Tethysimyia chilensis Ebejer View in CoL described from northern Chile.
