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.
Hybotidae, the typical dance flies, are a family of true flies. They belong to the superfamily Empidoidea and were formerly included in the Empididae as a subfamily.
Trichopezinae are a subfamily of empidoid flies. They are mainly predatory flies like most of their relatives, and generally small to medium-sized, long-legged and large-eyed.
Dolichocephala is a genus of dagger flies in the family Empididae. There are at least 50 described species in Dolichocephala.
Tachydromiinae is a subfamily of hybotid flies widespread in the world.
Ocydromiinae is a subfamily of hybotid flies.
Drapetini is a tribe of hybotid flies widespread in the world. There are 19 currently recognised genera. See the Wikispecies link below for details.
Hybos is a genus of hybotid flies.
Hemerodromiinae are a worldwide group of predatory flies with raptorial forelegs.
Antipodromia is a monotypic genus of fly from New Zealand that was first described by Plant in 2011.
Brachystomatinae is a subfamily of flies belonging to the family Empididae.
Empidinae are a subfamily of empidoid flies. They are mainly predatory flies like most of their relatives, and generally small to medium-sized. Most species are flower visitors and they can be effective pollinators.
Chersodromia is a genus of flies in the family Hybotidae.
Phyllodromia is a genus of dance flies. There are about 10 described species in Phyllodromia.
Ceratomerus is a genus of flies in the family Empididae.
Zealandicesa is a genus of flies in the family Empididae.
Chelipoda is a genus of flies in the family Empididae.
Chelipodozus is a genus of flies in the family Empididae.
Chelifera is a genus of flies in the family Empididae.
Homalocnemis is a genus of flies which is placed in a family of its own, the Homalocnemidae. There are about seven species in the genus found in the Afrotropical, Neotropical, and Australasian regions, suggestive of a Gondwanan origin. The genus was formerly considered a primitive empidoid and placed variously in the Hybotidae or in the empidid subfamily Brachystomatinae. They are recognized by their wing venation which includes a long anal cell and a long basal segment of the antennal style.
