Drosophilidae ( Fig. 92 )

The family Drosophilidae comprises over 4,000 extant species, grouped into two subfamilies and 73 genera ( Brake & Bächli 2013). Brncić (1983) revised the species of Scaptomyza Hardy in Chile, and Brncić & Martínez (1990) updated the species list for the country, now with 36 species known from the genera Drosophila Fallén , Leucophenga Mik , and Scaptomyza Hardy.
