Nanothinophilus is a genus of flies in the family Dolichopodidae. [2] It includes four species, all found in mangroves along the Andaman Sea coast in Thailand. It is closely related to the genera Thinophilus and Paralleloneurum . [1] In several studies, the genus Thinophilus was suggested to be paraphyletic with respect to Nanothinophilus. [3] [4]

Antyx is a genus of flies in the family Dolichopodidae from the Australasian realm. The genus was originally placed in the subfamily Sympycninae, but it was later found to be closer to the Neurigoninae and was placed as incertae sedis within the family. In the World Catalog of Dolichopodidae by Yang et al. (2006), the new subfamily Antyxinae was proposed, in which Antyx is the only genus. However, the validity of this new subfamily was later criticized by Sinclair et al. (2008). According to them, the subfamily's erection by Yang et al. (2006) was not justified by their phylogenetic analysis, and the genus would have been better placed as incertae sedis until a later phylogenetic study determines its placement.
