Dolichopus discifer is a European species of fly in family Dolichopodidae. [3] [4] It is sometimes stated to be a synonym of Dolichopus nigricornisMeigen, 1824, but according to Collin (1940) this synonymy should not be accepted, and the probable type of D. nigricornis (a female in Vienna) was Hercostomus gracilis (Stannius, 1831).

Corindia is a genus of flies in the family Dolichopodidae. It is known from the Afrotropical and Australasian realms, and an undescribed species is also known from the Neotropical realm. The genus was first described in 1986 by Daniel J. Bickel, who originally considered it to be the sister group of the genus Thrypticus.
