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]

These six genera belong to the family Apsilocephalidae:

The Burmese amber genus Kuhwahldyia described in 2019 is suggested to be a relative of the family.[6]
