Arciellia is a genus of flies in the family Dolichopodidae, endemic to Hawaii. It is part of the Eurynogaster complex of genera. [2] The genus is named in honor of Robert Cyril Layton Perkins, and incorporates the phonetic sounds of his initials "R.C.L.". [1]
Campsicnemus mirabilis is an extinct species of fly in family Dolichopodidae. It was endemic to the Hawaiian Islands.
Ortochile is a genus of flies in the family Dolichopodidae. It is distributed in the Western Palaearctic realm, including Europe, Turkey, Israel and North Africa. Adults of Ortochile have greatly elongated mouthparts, longer than the height of the head. They are associated with flowers, and have been reported to feed on nectar and pollen. Flower-feeding is also known in some species of Hercostomus.
Chrysotus is a genus of flies in the family Dolichopodidae. It is one of the largest genera in the subfamily Diaphorinae, with more than 460 species. However, the genus is probably paraphyletic, and possibly even polyphyletic, with respect to several related genera such as Achradocera, Falbouria and Lyroneurus.
Cymatopus is a genus of flies in the family Dolichopodidae. Members of the genus are found on rocky coasts of the Indo-West Pacific.
Eurynogaster is a genus of flies in the family Dolichopodidae, endemic to Hawaii. It is part of the Eurynogaster complex of genera, which also includes the genera Adachia, Arciellia, Elmoia, Major, Sigmatineurum, Sweziella and Uropachys.
Micromorphus is a genus of flies in the family Dolichopodidae.
Nurteria is a genus of flies in the family Dolichopodidae, found in the Afrotropical realm. Three species are currently known in the genus, but there are also numerous undescribed species of the genus from southern Africa. It was originally described in the subfamily Diaphorinae, though it possesses some features of the Sympycninae.
Sciapus is a genus of long-legged flies in the family Dolichopodidae. There are about 82 described species in Sciapus.
Sigmatineurum is a genus of fly in the family Dolichopodidae. It is endemic to Hawaii, occurring on all the main islands in the archipelago. It is part of the Eurynogaster complex of genera.
Thinolestris is a genus of flies in the family Dolichopodidae. The genus is distributed along coasts of the Western Pacific and Southeast Asia, and members of the genus are found in the intertidal zone. According to Grootaert and Evenhuis (2006), adults are active on beaches with small pebbles mixed with sandy patches.
Thinophilus is a genus of flies in the family Dolichopodidae. It includes about 146 described species distributed worldwide. Most species of the genus are found in coastal habitats, while a few species are found in freshwater habitats.
Sympycninae is a subfamily of flies in the family Dolichopodidae. In some classifications, this subfamily includes the genera of the subfamilies Peloropeodinae and Xanthochlorinae.
Ngirhaphium is a genus of flies in the family Dolichopodidae. It is known from mangroves in Singapore and Thailand. The genus is named after Prof. Dr. Peter Ng, from the National University of Singapore, combined with Rhaphium, the name of a related genus.
Major is a genus of flies in the family Dolichopodidae, endemic to Hawaii. It contains only one species, Major minor. It is part of the Eurynogaster complex of genera. The generic name is derived from the Latin major ("large"), referring to the extremely large tarsal claws of M. minor.
Adachia is a genus of flies in the family Dolichopodidae, endemic to Hawaii. It is part of the Eurynogaster complex of genera. The genus is named in honor of Marian Kohn for her work on Hawaiian dolichopodids.
Elmoia is a genus of flies in the family Dolichopodidae, endemic to Hawaii. It is part of the Eurynogaster complex of genera. The genus is named in honor of D. Elmo Hardy.
Uropachys is a genus of flies in the family Dolichopodidae, endemic to Kauai of the Hawaiian Islands. It is part of the Eurynogaster complex of genera.
Sweziella is a genus of flies belonging to the family Dolichopodidae, endemic to Hawaii. It is part of the Eurynogaster complex of genera.
