Apsilocephalidae is a family of flies in the superfamily Asiloidea. It was historically treated as a subfamily within Therevidae, but placed in a separate family in 1991, and subsequently recognized as more distantly related. The family contains three extant genera and at least five extinct genera described from the fossil record.
Genera
[edit | edit source]These six genera belong to the family Apsilocephalidae:
- Apsilocephala Kröber, 1914[1][2][3][4]
- †Burmapsilocephala Gaimari & Mostovski, 2000 (Cenomanian, Burmese amber)[3]
- Clesthentia White, 1915[2][3]
- Clesthentiella Nagatomi, Saigusa, Nagatomi & Lyneborg, 1991[3]
- †Irwinimyia Zhang et al., 2018 (Cenomanian, Burmese amber)[5]
- †Kaurimyia Winterton & Irwin, 2008[2][3]
- †Kumaromyia Grimaldi & Hauser, 2011[3]
- †Myanmarpsilocephala Zhang et al., 2018 (Cenomanian, Burmese amber)[5]
The Burmese amber genus Kuhwahldyia described in 2019 is suggested to be a relative of the family.[6]
