Abstract:

Mesembrinellidae (Diptera: Oestroidea) is a family of medium size (7–17 mm) neotropical flies. The taxonomic status of the group has been debated but at present it is treated as a family with 53 extant species. Currently, 19 species are recorded in Central America and Mexico with, until now, only two species known from Honduras: Mesembrinella bicolor (Fabricius, 1805) and Souzalopesiella facialis (Aldrich, 1922ALDRICH, J.M. 1922. The Neotropical muscoid genus Mesembrinella Giglio-Tos and other testaceous muscoid flies. Proc. U. S. Natl. Mus. 62(1):1–24. https://doi.org/10.5479/si.00963801.62-2457.1
https://doi.org/10.5479/si.00963801.62-2... ). For this study, material from the Insect Collection at the Pan-American Agricultural School, Zamorano (EAPZ), was examined. Six species distributed in three genera were found to occur in Honduras. The genus Laneella and the species: Laneella fuscosquamataWhitworth, 2019WHITWORTH, T.L. & YUSSEFF-VANEGAS, S. 2019.

Zootaxa 4659(1):1–146., and Mesembrinella socors (Walker, 1861), are recorded for the country for the first time. All species are illustrated, and a map with the known distribution in Honduras is provided.
