Apsilocephalidae is a family of flies in the superfamily Asiloidea. The family was proposed in 1991 as a close relative (sister group) of Therevidae distinguishable by genitalic characters. The family contains three extant genera and four extinct genera described from the fossil record..
Genera
These six genera belong to the family Apsilocephalidae:
- Apsilocephala Kröber, 1914[1][2][3][4]
- †Burmapsilocephala Gaimari & Mostovski, 2000[3]
- Clesthentia White, 1915[2][3]
- Clesthentiella Nagatomi, Saigusa, Nagatomi & Lyneborg, 1991[3]
- †IrwinimyiaZhang 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]
