Abatetia is a genus of flies in the family Dolichopodidae. It contains a single species, Abatetia robusta, and is found in New Zealand. The genus was originally known as Nelsonia, named by Octave Parent in 1933. The genus was then transferred to Cymatopus by Parent in 1937. Separately, David Miller found the name Nelsonia to be preoccupied by Nelsonia, and renamed it to Abatetia in 1945. However, the genus remained a synonym of Cymatopus until 1984, when it was restored as a separate genus by Henk J. G. Meuffels and Patrick Grootaert. Due to Nelsonia being preoccupied, Abatetia became the name of the genus.

Colobocerus is a genus of flies in the family Dolichopodidae, known from New Zealand. It contains only one species, Colobocerus alchymicus. According to Bickel (1992), Colobocerus should probably be treated as a synonym of Sympycnus.
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.
Filatopus is a genus of flies in the family Dolichopodidae. It is known from New Zealand and Argentina.

Heteropsilopus is a genus of flies in the family Dolichopodidae. The genus comprises large-sized sciapodines mostly with a strongly sinuate m-cu and simple digitiform cercus. The strongly sinuate m-cu is considered to be a distinctive group autapomorphy.

Metaparaclius is a genus of flies in the family Dolichopodidae. It is known from Papua New Guinea and Australia. The systematic position and monophyly of the genus are currently ambiguous: the holotype specimen of the type species, Metaparaclius subapicalis, was deposited in the Hungarian Natural History Museum, which was destroyed during the Hungarian Revolution of 1956, and no other specimens of this species are currently known.
Narrabeenia is a genus of flies in the family Dolichopodidae, living in Australia and named for Narrabeen, New South Wales.

Hydrophorinae is a subfamily of flies in the family Dolichopodidae. Several molecular phylogenetic analyses of the family have found evidence that the subfamily in its current sense is polyphyletic.
Sympycninae is a subfamily of flies in the family Dolichopodidae. In some classifications, this subfamily includes the genera of the subfamilies Peloropeodinae and Xanthochlorinae.
Humongochela is a genus of flies in the family Dolichopodidae. It is known from three of the Marquesas Islands, with one species on each. All three species are found on vertical surfaces near waterfalls. Flies in the genus have extremely long tarsal claws as well as extremely reduced pulvilli. These are presumed to be evolutionary adaptions to allow better grip on the slippery substrata near waterfalls. The generic name is derived from the American slang "humongous" and the Latin chela ("claw"), referring to their extremely long claws.
Nothorhaphium is a genus of flies belonging to the family Dolichopodidae. It includes four species from Australia and a single species from New Guinea. Nothorhaphium superficially resembles the genus Rhaphium, but it belongs in the subfamily Sympycninae and is thought to be closely related to the genera Syntormon, Parasyntormon and Ceratopos. The name of the genus is derived from the Greek νόθος, and Rhaphium.
