Neurigoninae is a subfamily of flies in the family Dolichopodidae. [1]
Symbolia is a genus of flies in the family Dolichopodidae. It is distributed in the Neotropical realm.
Argentinia is a genus of flies in the family Dolichopodidae.
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. The antennae of the males bear one or more elongate projections on an enlarged postpedicel, resembling antlers. Cheiromyia is closely related to some species of Paraclius.
Coeloglutus is a genus of flies in the family Dolichopodidae. It is known from Guatemala, Ecuador, El Salvador, the Lesser Antilles, Puerto Rico, Costa Rica, Venezuela, Bolivia, Panama and Peru, and contains only one species, Coeloglutus concavus.
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.
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. 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).
Neurigona is a genus of flies in the family Dolichopodidae. It is a large genus, with over 150 known species.
Notobothrus is a genus of flies in the family Dolichopodidae. It contains only one species, Notobothrus longilamellatus, which is known from the lowland Amazonian Peru and northwestern Brazilian Acre State. It was formerly placed in the subfamily Neurigoninae, but was moved to Peloropeodinae by Naglis in 2002. In 2020, the genus was excluded from the Peloropeodinae and provisionally left incertae sedis within Dolichopodidae.
Pelastoneurus is a genus of flies in the family Dolichopodidae.
Tachytrechus is a genus of long-legged flies in the family Dolichopodidae.
Chrysotus longipalpus is a species of fly in the family Dolichopodidae. It is distributed worldwide, though it is an introduced species in much of its range. It is associated with greenhouses.
Peloropeodinae is a subfamily of flies in the family Dolichopodidae. In some classifications, the genera of the subfamily are included in Sympycninae. According to a molecular phylogenetic analysis of the family Dolichopodidae by Germann et al. (2011), the subfamily is polyphyletic.
Bickelomyia is a genus of flies in the family Dolichopodidae. It is known from Mexico and Costa Rica. The genus is named after the Australian dipterologist Daniel J. Bickel.
Paracoeloglutus is a genus of flies from Chile in the family Dolichopodidae. It contains only one species, Paracoeloglutus chilensis. The generic name is a combination of the Greek word 'para' and Coeloglutus, a closely related genus. The specific name is derived from Chile, the country where P. chilensis was collected.
Lyroneurus is a genus of flies in the family Dolichopodidae. It includes 17 species distributed in the Neotropical realm. It was formerly treated as a subgenus of Diaphorus; more recently Lyroneurus has been treated as a synonym of Chrysotus, but Capellari & Amorim (2010) maintains it as a distinct genus noting that Chrysotus is possibly paraphyletic.
Dactylomyia is a genus of flies in the family Dolichopodidae.
Macrodactylomyia is a genus of flies in the family Dolichopodidae. It is known from Brazil, and contains only one species, Macrodactylomyia magnicauda. The generic name is a combination of the Greek word 'macros' and Dactylomyia. The specific name is a combination of the Latin words 'magnus' and 'cauda'.
Systenoides is a genus of flies in the family Dolichopodidae. It is known from Paraguay, and contains only one species, Systenoides paraguayensis. The generic name refers to the similarity with the genus Systenus. The specific name is derived from Paraguay, the country where S. paraguayensis was collected.
Viridigona is a genus of flies in the family Dolichopodidae. It consists of 28 species which are distributed in the Neotropics, with the exception of V. viridis which is known from the eastern United States. The generic name is a combination of the Latin word viridis and the ending of 'Neurigona', from which Viridigona is distinguished by its metallic green thorax and abdomen.
