Sciomyzidae ( Figs 89–90 )

The Sciomyzidae comprises over 541 species, grouped into three subfamilies and 63 genera ( Murphy et al. 2022). Recent studies ( Marinoni & Mathis 2000; Tóthová et al. 2013) have made significant changes to the family system. For Chile, 26 species in 11 genera are cited by Murphy et al. (2022), a paper that has a key for the identification of the genera present in Chile.
