Abstract

This work is a review of the systematics of the family Pantophthalmidae (Diptera, Brachycera) and an attempt to interpret the evolutionary patterns inherent in this group. Keys for the identification of species and of genera are presented. Short descriptions of the species with emphasis on characters used in species comparisons are included. Besides the conventional morphological structures, four metric characters are also analyzed. The geographical distribution of each species is presented and a phylogenetic sketch is proposed.
