Keirosoma is a genus of flies in the family Dolichopodidae. [1] [2] It is distributed in the New World. [3] The subfamily has variously been placed in the Rhaphiinae, Diaphorinae or Sympycninae. According to Scott E. Brooks in 2005, the systematic position of the genus is still uncertain, though a possible relationship with Pseudohercostomus has been suggested. [4]

<i>Diaphorus</i> Genus of flies

Diaphorus is a genus of flies in the family Dolichopodidae. Lyroneurus was formerly considered a subgenus, but is now either treated as a synonym of Chrysotus or treated as a distinct genus.

Katangaia is an African genus of flies in the family Dolichopodidae. It was originally placed in the subfamily Rhaphiinae, though it was later transferred to Dolichopodinae. In 2005, based on a cladistic analysis of the subfamily, Scott E. Brooks excluded Katangaia from the Dolichopodinae. However, Grichanov (2012) retains the genus in this subfamily.

Vetimicrotes is a genus of flies in the family Dolichopodidae. It is distributed in the Palaearctic realm. The genus was originally named Microtes by Theodor Becker in 1918. Afterwards, the name was found to be preoccupied by the grasshopper genus Microtes, so it was renamed to Vetimicrotes by C. E. Dyte in 1980.

Platyopsis is a genus of flies in the family Dolichopodidae. It contains a single species, Platyopsis maroccanus, from Morocco and Algeria. According to a cladistic analysis by Brooks (2005), the genus appears closely related to Stenopygium and Pelastoneurus.

Lyroneurus is a genus of flies in the family Dolichopodidae. It includes 17 species distributed in the Neotropical realm. It was formerly treated as a subgenus of Diaphorus; more recently Lyroneurus has been treated as a synonym of Chrysotus, but Capellari & Amorim (2010) maintains it as a distinct genus noting that Chrysotus is possibly paraphyletic.
