Neriidae
This family of tropical acalyptrate flies contains just over 100 species (
Evenhuis & Pape 2020
).
Rondani (1848
b
, 1863) described one from South America and one without any indication of the
type
locality. The former is considered as a doubtful species (A. Pereira Colavite, pers. comm.,
February 2013
) the latter as a valid species (
Steyskal 1968b
). The
type
material of the species with no locality has presumably been lost; the South American
type
material is in the MZUN.
