The '''Cypselosomatidae''' are a family of true [[Fly|flies]] (Diptera) closely related to the [[Micropezidae]]. Eleven living genera and one fossil genus are described, 8 of which are in the subfamily [[Pseudopomyzinae]]; this group was formerly ranked as a family, but they have been treated as a subfamily of Cypselosomatidae since 2007.<ref>Carvalho-Filho, Fernando da Silva, & Esposito, Maria Cristina.
