<span class="mw-page-title-main">Sciapodinae</span> Subfamily of flies

Sciapodinae is a subfamily of flies in the family Dolichopodidae. Members of the subfamily possess several ancestral characteristics of the family, such as branched vein M1+2 in the wings (though M2 is absent or reduced in Mesorhagini) and a pedunculate hypopygium. They also typically have a deeply excavated vertex, giving their heads the appearance of a dumbbell when viewed from the front.

Nothorhaphium is a genus of flies belonging to the family Dolichopodidae. It includes four species from Australia and a single species from New Guinea.

The name of the genus is derived from the Greek νόθος, and Rhaphium.
