Pseudomomyzids comprise 23 species in six genera, separated into three “groups” ( McAlpine 1996; Lonsdale 2020). However, the monophyly and composition of this family remain controversial. For Chile, Heloclusia imperfecta Malloch was until recently the only species recorded in the family. The systematic position of Heloclusia Malloch has successively changed, from Helomyzidae (= Heleomyzidae ) to Cypselosomatidae , and most recently to Pseudopomyzidae ( Malloch 1933; Prado 1984; Lonsdale 2020). A thesis reviewing the family cited a second species for Chile, belonging to Pseudopomyza (Apops) ( Yau 2023) .
