Pharcoura is a genus of flies in the family Dolichopodidae from Chile. It is the first genus in the subfamily Medeterinae to be described from Nothofagus forests. [1]
The generic name is a combination of the Greek words pharkis (wrinkle) and oura (tail). [1]
Acropsilus is a genus of flies in the family Dolichopodidae. It is unplaced in the family, having been placed variously in subfamilies such as Sympycninae or Peloropeodinae. It is superficially similar to the Medeterinae.
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.
Bickelia is a genus of flies in the family Dolichopodidae. It is named after the Australian dipterologist Daniel J. Bickel.
Chaetogonopteron is a genus of flies in the family Dolichopodidae.
Corindia is a genus of flies in the family Dolichopodidae. It is known from the Afrotropical and Australasian realms, and is closely related to the genus Thrypticus. In Australia, adults of the genus are often found on smooth-barked eucalypt trees, and display a stance similar to that of Medetera. The genus is named after Corindi, a geographical place name of aboriginal origin on the New South Wales northern coast.
Kowmungia is a genus of flies in the family Dolichopodidae. It is known from Australia.
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. The larvae are predators of bark beetle larvae.
Mesorhaga is a genus of flies in the family Dolichopodidae.
Paraclius is a genus of flies in the family Dolichopodidae.
Pinacocerus is a genus of flies in the family Dolichopodidae, known from Chile and Argentina.
Sciapodinae is a subfamily of flies in the family Dolichopodidae.
Diaphorinae is a subfamily of flies in the family Dolichopodidae.
Medeterinae is a subfamily of flies in the family Dolichopodidae.
Maipomyia is a genus of flies in the family Dolichopodidae from Chile. The genus is named after the Maipo River.
Peloropeodinae is a subfamily of flies in the family Dolichopodidae. In some classifications, the genera of the subfamily are included in Sympycninae. According to Germann et al. (2011), the subfamily is polyphyletic.
Sympycninae is a subfamily of flies in the family Dolichopodidae. In some classifications, this subfamily includes the genera of the subfamilies Peloropeodinae and Xanthochlorinae.
Alishanimyia is a genus of fly in the family Dolichopodidae. It contains only one species, Alishanimyia elmohardyi, and is known only from montane forests at 2400 m in Taiwan. Alishanimyia is probably descended from Chrysotimus, which would make the latter genus paraphyletic.
Sciapodini is a tribe of flies in the family Dolichopodidae.
Chrysosomatini is a tribe of flies in the family Dolichopodidae.
