Cryptopygiella is a genus of flies in the family Dolichopodidae from Dominica and Montserrat. It contains only one species, Cryptopygiella musaphila. [1] [2]
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).
Asyndetus is a genus of flies in the family Dolichopodidae. There are more than 100 species described for the genus, distributed worldwide.
Cymatopus is a genus of flies in the family Dolichopodidae. Members of the genus are found on rocky coasts of the Indo-West Pacific.
Discopygiella is a genus of flies in the family Dolichopodidae. It is distributed in the Neotropical realm.
Dominicomyia is a genus of flies in the family Dolichopodidae from the Neotropical realm.
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.
Harmstonia is a genus of flies in the family Dolichopodidae.
Medetera is a large genus of flies in the family Dolichopodidae. It includes about 350 species worldwide. The adults are commonly found resting on vertical surfaces such as tree trunks, on which they have a characteristic vertical upright stance. Because of this stance, they are sometimes known as "woodpecker flies". Medetera adults are predators of soft-bodied arthropods, while the larvae are predators of bark beetle larvae.
Micromedetera is a genus of flies in the family Dolichopodidae from the Caribbean and Panama. The genus belongs to the "micro-dolichopodids", an informal group of genera from the New World which have a body length of 1 mm or less. The genus was originally assigned to the subfamily Medeterinae, but more recently its placement in the subfamily is considered uncertain.
Peloropeodes is a genus of flies in the family Dolichopodidae.
Pseudosympycnus is a genus of flies in the family Dolichopodidae. It is distributed in the Neotropical realm.
Saccopheronta is a genus of flies in the family Dolichopodidae. It is considered a synonym of Medetera by some authors, and a valid genus by others.
Stolidosoma is a genus of fly in the family Dolichopodidae.
Sympycnus is a genus of flies in the family Dolichopodidae.
Systenus is a genus of flies in the family Dolichopodidae.
Xanthina is a genus of flies in the family Dolichopodidae.
Medeterinae is a subfamily of flies in the family Dolichopodidae.
Peloropeodinae is a subfamily of flies in the family Dolichopodidae. In some classifications, the genera of the subfamily are included in Sympycninae. According to a molecular phylogenetic analysis of the family Dolichopodidae by Germann et al. (2011), the subfamily is polyphyletic.
Dubius is a genus of flies in the family Dolichopodidae, with seven species distributed in southern China and another five in the Neotropical realm. The genus name is from the Latin word dubius, referring to the variance of frons. The genus was first established by Wei Lian-Meng in 2012, including a group of species from the Neotropical realm previously placed in Chrysotus, as well as five newly described species from China. According to some researchers, all of the Neotropical species should be kept in Chrysotus, as their transfer to Dubius was unwarranted.
Chimerothalassius is a genus of flies in the family Dolichopodidae. It contains five described species, two from New Zealand, two from New Caledonia and one from the Caribbean. It also contains three undescribed species, two from New Zealand and one from Costa Rica.
