Neothalassius is a genus of flies in the family Dolichopodidae from Chile. It was recorded by Brooks & Cumming (2011) from the region, [2] but was undescribed until 2016. [1]
Dolichopus is a large cosmopolitan genus of flies in the family Dolichopodidae. Adults are small flies, typically less than 8 mm in length. Nearly all species are metallic greenish-blue to greenish-bronze. It is the largest genus of Dolichopodidae with more than 600 species worldwide.
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.
Cheiromyia is a genus of flies in the family Dolichopodidae. It is found in the Neotropical realm. It was originally named Cheirocerus by Octave Parent in 1930, but was renamed to Cheiromyia by C. E. Dyte in 1980 after it was found to be preoccupied by the catfish genus Cheirocerus.
Chrysotus is a genus of flies in the family Dolichopodidae. It is one of the largest genera in the subfamily Diaphorinae, with more than 460 species. However, the genus is probably paraphyletic, and possibly even polyphyletic, with respect to several related genera such as Achradocera, Falbouria and Lyroneurus.
Kowmungia is a genus of flies in the family Dolichopodidae. It is known from Australia.
Dolichopodinae is a subfamily of flies in the family Dolichopodidae.
Kowmunginae is a subfamily of flies in the family Dolichopodidae. It was proposed in the World Catalog of Dolichopodidae by Yang et al. (2006) to include two genera previously placed as incertae sedis within the family. 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 genera included would have been better placed as incertae sedis until a later phylogenetic study determines their placement.
Parathalassiinae is a subfamily of flies in the family Dolichopodidae. It is part of an extended concept of the family, Dolichopodidae sensu lato, and forms a monophyletic group with Dolichopodidae sensu stricto. It was once placed provisionally in the subfamily Microphorinae as the tribe Parathalassiini.
Eothalassius is a genus of flies in the family Dolichopodidae. It contains four described species, from Southeast Asia, Papua New Guinea, Costa Rica and the Mediterranean. It also contains three undescribed species, one from New Caledonia and two from Japan.
Chimerothalassius is a genus of flies in the family Dolichopodidae. It contains five described species, two from New Zealand, two from New Caledonia and one from the Caribbean. It also contains three undescribed species, two from New Zealand and one from Costa Rica.
Parathalassius is a genus of flies in the family Dolichopodidae. It is found along sandy sea coasts in both the Palaearctic and Nearctic realms. The name "Parathalassius" is of Greek origin, and can be translated as "near the sea".
Amphithalassius is a genus of flies in the family Dolichopodidae. It is found along sandy sea coasts in South Africa. It contains two described species, and three undescribed species known only from females. It is closely related to Plesiothalassius.
Plesiothalassius is a genus of flies in the family Dolichopodidae. It is found along sandy sea coasts in South Africa. It contains three described species. It is closely related to Amphithalassius.
Tachytrechus sanus is a species of long-legged fly in the family Dolichopodidae.
Microphorites is an extinct genus of flies in the family Dolichopodidae.
Microphor is a genus of flies in the family Dolichopodidae, subfamily Microphorinae.
Schistostoma is a genus of flies in the family Dolichopodidae, subfamily Microphorinae.
Microphorella is a genus of flies in the family Dolichopodidae. It is currently considered both paraphyletic and polyphyletic, and several species groups may need to be recognised as subgenera or genera.
