Calliphoridae ( Figs 117–119 )

The Calliphoridae in the delimitation of Nasser et al. (2021) comprises approximately 1,500 extant species, grouped into 11 subfamilies and over 100 genera. Some studies have improved knowledge of the relationships of the smaller clades included with Calliphoridae by using molecular data ( Singh & Wells 2013; Marinho et al. 2016) as well as morphological data ( Peris 1992; Whitworth 2012, 2014). For Chile, 20 species are cited in 12 genera ( González et al. 2017b).
