Thrypticus is a genus of long-legged flies in the family Dolichopodidae. There are about 90 described species in Thrypticus. All known larvae of the genus are phytophagous stem-miners of plants in the families Cyperaceae, Poaceae, Juncaceae, and Pontederiaceae. Female adults have a strong, pointed ovipositor used to pierce and insert eggs in the stems of the plants.
Abbemyia is a genus of flies in the family Dolichopodidae, known from Australia and New Caledonia. It is named after the French entomologist Abbé Octave Parent, who studied the family Dolichopodidae.
Antyx is a genus of flies in the family Dolichopodidae from the Australasian realm. The genus was originally placed in the subfamily Sympycninae, but it was later found to be closer to the Neurigoninae and was placed as incertae sedis within the family. In the World Catalog of Dolichopodidae by Yang et al. (2006), the new subfamily Antyxinae was proposed, in which Antyx is the only genus. However, the validity of this new subfamily was later criticized by Sinclair et al. (2008). According to them, the subfamily's erection by Yang et al. (2006) was not justified by their phylogenetic analysis, and the genus would have been better placed as incertae sedis until a later phylogenetic study determines its placement.
Babindella is a genus of flies in the family Dolichopodidae from Australia. It is the only genus in the subfamily Babindellinae, and is named after Babinda, the type locality. According to Grichanov (2018), there may be no basis for a separate subfamily for Babindella, which is considered to be related to several genera of Medeterinae such as Udzungwomyia.
Corindia is a genus of flies in the family Dolichopodidae. It is known from the Afrotropical and Australasian realms, and is closely related to the genus Thrypticus. In Australia, adults of the genus are often found on smooth-barked eucalypt trees, and display a stance similar to that of Medetera. The genus is named after Corindi, a geographical place name of aboriginal origin on the New South Wales northern coast.
Dytomyia is a genus of flies in the family Dolichopodidae. It is known from Australia, Madagascar and Kenya, with an undescribed species from Papua New Guinea.
Kowmungia is a genus of flies in the family Dolichopodidae. It is known from Australia.

Yumbera is a genus of flies in the family Dolichopodidae, known from eastern mainland Australia and Tasmania. The generic name is an Australian aboriginal word meaning "fly".
Sciapodinae is a subfamily of flies in the family Dolichopodidae.

Cryptophleps is a genus of flies in the family Dolichopodidae.
Medeterinae is a subfamily of flies in the family Dolichopodidae.
Sympycninae is a subfamily of flies in the family Dolichopodidae. In some classifications, this subfamily includes the genera of the subfamilies Peloropeodinae and Xanthochlorinae.
Demetera is a genus of flies in the family Dolichopodidae. It contains eight species formerly included in Medetera in the M. melanesiana species group. The species are found in the Afrotropical, Oriental and Australasian regions. According to Naglis and Bickel (2012), it was unwarranted to establish a separate genus for this group of species.
Pindaia is a genus of fly in the family Dolichopodidae from the Australasian realm. The genus is named after the New Caledonian place name "Pindai".
Hercostomoides is a genus of flies in the family Dolichopodidae. It is known from Asia to Australia and the western Pacific Ocean.
Sciapodini is a tribe of flies in the family Dolichopodidae.
