Are Thelaira and Halidaya the only tachinids with semi-hemispherical heads (for palearctic zone)?

Difficult to answer - it depends on which criteria you use.
Carcelia are quite similar, or any genus with large eyes.
Hemyda have very distinctive eyes that are big and kidney-shaped in lateral profile.
Gonia are very rounded too :)
