Apsilocephalidae
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..
