Medetera is a large genus of flies in the family Dolichopodidae. [9] [10] It includes about 350 species worldwide. [11] 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. [2] [12] [13]

A 2011 molecular phylogenetic analysis of Medetera and related genera found that Medetera is paraphyletic with respect to Dolichophorus , and that Thrypticus is a sister taxon to Medetera + Dolichophorus. [14]

Species
