Family EOPHLEBOMYIIDAE



Cockerell (1924a) originally described the fossil fly listed below as an acalypterate in the Tephritidae. Subsequent research by F.W. Edwards in Cockerell (1925b) showed that Eophlebomyia was a calypterate fly more closely related to Glossinidae and Anthomyiidae. Cockerell (1925b) agreed with Edwards' conclusions and erected the family Eophlebomyiidae.
