Asilidae View in CoL View at ENA ( Figs. 39–43 View FIGURES 38–43 )

Asilidae View in CoL includes over 7,650 species, grouped into 14 subfamilies and 577 genera ( Londt & Dikow 2017). Artigas (1970b) published a monograph of this family for Chile, including 111 species in 40 genera, of which, 27 genera and 72 species are recognized as endemic. Artigas (1996), Artigas & Parra (2006), Artigas et al. (2005) and Hengst & Artigas (2003) published additional contributions, with studies of the genera Martintella View in CoL Artigas & Papavero, Alyssomyia Hull View in CoL , Tillobroma Hull View in CoL , and Philonerax Bromley. View in CoL Artigas et al. (1997) contributed with keys and spermatheca atlas for females. An updated catalog of Chilean robber flies recognized 135 species in 44 genera (Papavero 2009). Other species have recently been added, such as the second Mallophora species cited for the country, Mallophora leschenaulti Macquart ( Barahona-Segovia & Pañinao-Monsálvez 2020) .
