Argyra is a genus of flies in the family Dolichopodidae. The name "Argyra" comes from the Greek word for "silver", referring to the silver pruinescence found on the males of many of the species.
Amesorhaga is a genus of flies in the family Dolichopodidae. All species in the genus are from the Oriental realm.
Palaeoargyra is an extinct genus of flies in the family Dolichopodidae, known from Baltic amber. It contains only one species, Palaeoargyra mutabilis. It was originally proposed as a subgenus of Argyra, but was later considered a separate genus.
Palaeomedeterus is an extinct genus of flies in the family Dolichopodidae, known from Baltic amber and Cambay amber from the Eocene. The genus was first proposed by Fernand Meunier in 1895 with no included species or description, though illustrations were provided for six different unnamed species.
Prosystenus is an extinct genus of flies in the family Dolichopodidae, from the Middle Eocene of Sakhalin Island in the Russian Far East. It contains only one species, Prosystenus zherichini, described from Sakhalin amber. It is the oldest confirmed representative of the Dolichopodidae in its strict sense, excluding the subfamilies Microphorinae and Parathalassiinae.
Systenus is a genus of flies in the family Dolichopodidae.
Wheelerenomyia is an extinct genus of flies in the family Dolichopodidae that lived during the Eocene of the Baltic region. The genus currently contains 13 species, all of which were described from Baltic amber. Within the family Dolichopodidae, Wheelerenomyia is considered to be a member of the subfamily Sciapodinae, but its wing vein M is unbranched and strongly curved so it is considered closely related to members of the tribe Mesorhagini. The genus was first described in 1907 by Fernand Meunier, who named it after William Morton Wheeler.
Medeterinae is a subfamily of flies in the family Dolichopodidae.
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.
Poecilobothrus is a genus of flies in the family Dolichopodidae.
Rovno amber, occasionally called Ukrainian amber, is amber found in the Rivne Oblast and surrounding regions of Ukraine and Belarus. The amber is dated between Late Eocene and Early Oligocene, and suggested to be contemporaneous to Baltic amber. Major exploration and mining of the amber did not start until the 1990s.
Medeterites is an extinct genus of flies in the family Dolichopodidae, known from Baltic amber. It contains only one species, Medeterites molestus.
Systenites is an extinct genus of flies in the family Dolichopodidae, known from Baltic amber.
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.
Cretomicrophorus is an extinct genus of flies in the family Dolichopodidae from the Upper Cretaceous of Russia, France and the United States. The generic name is a combination of the Latin word creta ("chalk") and the generic name Microphorus.
Microphorinae is a subfamily of flies in the family Dolichopodidae. It is part of an expanded concept of the family, Dolichopodidae sensu lato, though it was previously considered a family of its own.
Archichrysotus is an extinct genus of flies in the family Dolichopodidae. The generic name is a combination of the Greek prefix archi- and the generic name Chrysotus. The genus is known from Upper Cretaceous amber from the Taymyr Peninsula in Russia, New Jersey in the United States and Cedar Lake in Manitoba, Canada.
Microphorites is an extinct genus of flies in the family Dolichopodidae.
Prohercostomus is an extinct genus of flies in the family Dolichopodidae, known from Baltic amber from the Eocene. It was originally created as a subgenus of Hercostomus, but was later raised to genus rank.
