“…The subfamily Hybotinae is today known from the Dominican Republic with three genera recorded: Euhybus Coquillett, 1895, Neohybus Ale- Carvallo, 2003 andSyneches Walker, 1852. Neohybus is restricted to Neotropical Americas (Ale-Rocha & Rafael, 2004), whereas Euhybus has been recorded beyond the New World, but the definition of the genus needs to be re-examined (Sinclair & Cumming, 2017). Syneches is cosmopolitan in distribution and broadly dispersed with approximately 189 species described (Menezes & Ale-Rocha, 2016).…”

A new fossil genus of the family Hybotidae is described, based on male and female specimens. The new genus is monotypic: Syneproctus caridadi gen. et sp. nov. It belongs to the subfamily Hybotinae and shares some characters with the extant genera Syneches Walker, 1852, Stenoproctus Loew, 1858 and Chillcottomyia Saigusa, 1986; however, the differences, principally in the wing venation (shortened cua cell, horizontal m-cu crossvein) and sclerotized mouthparts, support the description of a new genus. This is the first description of a new taxon of the subfamily Hybotinae from specimens preserved in Dominican amber.

Hybotidae is a diverse family of the order Diptera, suborder Brachycera, superfamily Empidoidea. Hybotid flies are generally yellow to black, are morphologically diverse, and are distributed worldwide. The monophyly of the family is based on: palpifer and fore tibial gland present, laterotergite bare and R₄₊₅ unbranched. Hybotids are mainly predators and are usually found on the vegetation, logs and other surfaces, or in flight during displacement and forage. This catalogue, based on the study of specimens and available literature records, summarizes and updates the information on the Colombian fauna of Hybotidae, which includes 19 species distributed in six genera.
