Neotonnoiria is a genus of flies in the family Dolichopodidae. It is known from Brazil, Panama, Costa Rica and Peru, and contains only one species, Neotonnoiria maculipennis. [2] The genus was originally named Tonnoiria by Octave Parent in 1929; however, this was preoccupied by TonnoiriaMalloch, 1929, so it was renamed to Neotonnoiria by Harold E. Robinson (1970).

<i>Medetera</i> Genus of flies

Medetera is a large genus of flies in the family Dolichopodidae. It includes about 350 species worldwide. 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.
