abstract = {The New World family Syringogastridae (Diptera, Acalyptratae) is revised. Eleven new extant species are described in four newly recognized species groups of the single genus Syringogaster to give a total of 20 extant species (S. brachypecta, S. apiculata and S. tenuipes in the rufa-group; S. atricalyx, S. figurata, and S. plesioterga in the figurata-group; S. dactylopleura in the dactylopleura-group, and S. nigrithorax, S. brunneina, S. sharkeyi and S. palenque in the brunnea-group; Marshall & Buck are the authors of all extant new species). Two new fossil species, Syringogaster miocenecus Grimaldi and S. craigi Grimaldi are described, each based on a unique Miocene (ca. 17 myo) amber specimen from the Dominican Republic. Morphological and molecular characters are used to estimate phylogenetic relationships among species of Syringogastridae, and between Syringogastridae and related diopsids. The fossil species appear to form the sister group to the Central and South American S. figurata group, and reveal Antillean extinction of the family from earlier in the Tertiary.}
