  • Pseudoptilolepis Snyder, 1949 (Diptera: Muscidae) has its distribution restricted to the Neotropics (Lopes & Carvalho, 1985) and was originally proposed to four species: P. fulvapoda, P. nigripoda, P.nudapleura and P.confusa.Albuquerque (1954) added a new species, P. fluminensis. Pont (1972) proposed, in the Neotropical catalog, the new combination of Mydaea latipalpis Stein, 1918 to Pseudoptilolepis, already supported by previous considerations of Snyder (1949) and Albuquerque (1954). Lopes & Carvalho (1985) described the male of P. nudapleura and illustrated, for the first time, the terminalia of the four species previously described by Snyder (1949). In addition, they recorded the occurrence of P. fluminensis and P. fulvapoda from Curitiba (Parana, Brazil).
  • Schuhli & Carvalho (2005) revised Pseudoptilolepis and described four new species - P. centralis, P. chrysella, P. crocina, P. elbida. The authors also performed a cladistic analysis for eight species of Pseudoptilolepis (P. latipalpis and P. confusa were not included), based on 10 morphological characters. The genus was supported as monophyletic based on the forked aedeagus and the setulose calyptra.
  • Pseudoptilolepis belongs to the subfamily Cyrtoneurininae (Pont, 1972; Carvalho, 1993). A recent study by Haseyama et al. (2015) based on molecular analysis corroborated the traditional placement of the genus in Cyrtoneurininae.
