Coenosiini, edemica, predadorAbstract
Apsil Malloch is a small group of predaceous muscids endemic of the Andean biogeographic region with 12 known species recorded from Argentina and Chile. We present a new species, Apsil extravagante sp. nov., with detailed description of male pregenital and genital segments, and a brief discussion about pregenital segments among species of this genus.
