Nothorhaphium is a genus of flies belonging to the family Dolichopodidae. [2] [3] It includes four species from Australia and a single species from New Guinea. [1] Nothorhaphium superficially resembles the genus Rhaphium , but it belongs in the subfamily Sympycninae and is thought to be closely related to the genera Syntormon , Parasyntormon and Ceratopos . The name of the genus is derived from the Greek νόθος (nóthos, "false"), and Rhaphium. [1]

Abbemyia is a genus of flies in the family Dolichopodidae, known from Australia and New Caledonia. It is named after the French entomologist Abbé Octave Parent, who studied the family Dolichopodidae.

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.
