Parathalassiinae is a subfamily of flies in the family Dolichopodidae. [1] 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. [2]

Contents

According to a molecular phylogenetic analysis of the family Dolichopodidae by Germann et al. (2011), there is strong evidence for placing Parathalassiinae within Dolichopodidae sensu stricto. [3]

Genera

The subfamily currently includes 12 genera: [4]

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.
