Austropeza is a genus of flies in the family Hybotidae.^[3] It includes at least one species described from New Zealand, Austropeza isolita, which was originally described by James Edward Collin in 1928 as a species of Leptopeza . The species was originally known only from a single male collected from Waitati in South Island on January 1922. In December 2000, a female of the species was collected from a forest in Hurunui District of South Island.^[4]

The species Leptopeza rubrithorax , described from Tasmania, is also included in this genus by some sources.^[4]

Empididae is a family of flies with over 3,000 described species occurring worldwide in all the biogeographic realms but the majority are found in the Holarctic. They are mainly predatory flies like most of their relatives in the Empidoidea, and exhibit a wide range of forms but are generally small to medium-sized, non-metallic and rather bristly.

They are recognized by their wing venation which includes a long anal cell and a long basal segment of the antennal style.
