Chyromyidae
Chyromyidae are small to very small cyclorrhaphous, acalypterate flies (Diptera) currently classified within the Heleomyzoidea by most authors. The majority have a pale yellow integument and bright iridescent green, red or purple eyes. The family is represented in all continents except Antarctica.〔Wheeler, T.A. & Sinclair, B.J. 1994. Chyromyidae (Diptera) from the Galapagos Islands, Ecuador: three new species of ''Aphaniosoma'' Becker. ''Proceedings of the Entomological Society of Washington'' 96 (3): 440–453.〕〔Ebejer, M.J. 1996.

A review of the Palaearctic species of ''Aphaniosoma'' Becker (Diptera: Chyromyidae) with descriptions of new species and a key for the identification of adults. ''Deutsche entomologische Zeitschrift'' 2, 45: 191–230.〕 There are about 150 named species in this family worldwide. There has been no comprehensive taxonomic study to elucidate the generic limits of species in the family. Currently, only four genera are recognised, but ongoing studies of the African species indicate that there are more.〔Ebejer, M.J. 2000. Chyromyidae (Diptera: Heleomyzoidea).

==Biology==
The biology of Chyromyidae is poorly known and no life history of any species has been elucidated. Adults are xerophilic and have been collected on flowering plants. There appears to be some association with bird and mammalian nests,〔Collin, J.E. 1933. Five new species of Diptera. ''Entomologist's monthly Magazine'' 69: 272–275.〕〔Ferrar, P. 1987. A guide to the breeding habits and immature stages of Diptera Cyclorrhapha. ''Entomonograph'' 8 (1–2): 1–907.〕〔Smith, K.G.V. 1989. ''An introduction to the immature stages of British flies''. Handbooks for the Identification of British Insects. Vol. 10, part 14. London: Royal Entomological Society of London, pp. 1–280.〕 though the nature of this association is not clear. Some species have been reared from guano and dung, from debris in tree hollows, and bird and mammalian nests.
