Metaparaclius is a genus of flies in the family Dolichopodidae. [2] It is known from Papua New Guinea and Australia. [3] The systematic position and monophyly of the genus are currently ambiguous: the holotype specimen of the type species, Metaparaclius subapicalis , was deposited in the Hungarian Natural History Museum, which was destroyed during the Hungarian Revolution of 1956, and no other specimens of this species are currently known.
