Homalocnemidae ( Fig. 61 )

The Homalocnemidae includes only the genus Homalocnemis Philippi with seven known species ( Sinclair 2017b). Homalocnemidae was given family rank by Pape et al. (2011) and was considered a sister-group within the Empidoidea ( Sinclair 2017b), and Homalocnemis , together with Iteaphila and Oreogeton are sister to remaining Empidoidea ( Badano et al. 2023). Two species are reported to Chile, H. nigripennis Philippi and H. praesumpta Collin ( Rafael et al. 2022) .
