Scenopinidae ( Fig. 47 )

The family comprises 420 species worldwide, grouped into three subfamilies and 25 extant genera ( Yeates 1992). Winterton & Ware (2015) conducted a phylogenetic study of this family, and Kelsey (1969, 1971, 1974) published keys to known species. There is reference to only one scenopinid species in Chile, Heteromphrale chilensis (Kröber) ( Kelsey 1969) .
