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]
† Gaimari & Mostovski, 2000 (Cenomanian, Burmese amber)^[3]
White, 1915^[2]^[3]
Nagatomi, Saigusa, Nagatomi & Lyneborg, 1991^[3]
†Zhang et al., 2018 (Cenomanian, Burmese amber)^[5]
† Winterton & Irwin, 2008^[2]^[3]
Grimaldi & Hauser, 2011^[3]
† Zhang et al., 2018 (Cenomanian, Burmese amber)^[5]

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