Australachalcus is a genus of flies in the family Dolichopodidae. It is very closely related to the genus Achalcus , in which some of its species were originally placed. The name Australachalcus ("southern Achalcus") refers to the southern hemisphere, where the genus reaches its highest levels of species richness. [1]
Argyra is a genus of flies in the family Dolichopodidae. The name "Argyra" comes from the Greek word for "silver".

Achradocera is a genus of flies in the family Dolichopodidae. It is distributed in the Nearctic and Neotropical realms as well as in Polynesia. Several Afrotropical species were also placed in the genus, but in 2018 they were transferred to Chrysotus. Achradocera was formerly considered a subgenus of Chrysotus, but was restored as a separate genus by Harold E. Robinson (1975).
Calyxochaetus is a genus of flies in the family Dolichopodidae. It was formerly considered a subgenus of Sympycnus, but it is now considered a separate genus.

Diaphorus is a genus of flies in the family Dolichopodidae. Lyroneurus is considered by some authors to be a subgenus of this genus.
Enlinia is a genus of flies in the family Dolichopodidae. Flies in the genus are tiny, with a body length of around 1 mm. The genus is restricted to the New World. There are about 89 species described in the genus.
Nematoproctus is a genus of fly in the family Dolichopodidae. It has an uncertain position in the family; different authors have included the genus in the subfamily Diaphorinae or the subfamily Rhaphiinae.
Neurigona is a genus of flies in the family Dolichopodidae. It is a large genus, with over 150 known species.
