Abstract
The classic division of the Sciomyzidae (sensu strictu, less Dryomyzidae, etc.) into Sciomyzinae and Tetanocerinae stood until 1923, when Hendel erected the Tetanurinae. Then in 1939 Enderlein, including Tetanura Fallén with the Sciomyzinae, erected the Salticellinae, and in the same year Sack divided the Sciomyzinae into Sciomyzinae and Ditaeniinae. This state of affairs remained until 1950, when Verbefte, stressing the modifications of segmentation occasioned by circumversion of the male postabdomen, divided the family into 4 subfamilies: Sciomyzinae, Renocerinae, Tetanocerinae, and Sepedoninae.
