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]
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]
The subfamily currently includes 12 genera: [4]
