Utetheisa is a genus of tiger moths in the family Erebidae. The genus was first described by Jacob Hübner in 1819.
Dolichopodidae, the long-legged flies, are a large, cosmopolitan family of true flies with more than 7,000 described species in about 230 genera. The genus Dolichopus is the most speciose, with some 600 species.
Empididae is a family of flies with over 3,000 described species occurring worldwide in all the biogeographic realms but the majority are found in the Holarctic. They are mainly predatory flies like most of their relatives in the Empidoidea, and exhibit a wide range of forms but are generally small to medium-sized, non-metallic and rather bristly.
Campsicnemus is a genus of flies in family Dolichopodidae. There are more than 290 described species, made up of 34 Palearctic, 22 Nearctic, seven Afrotropic, 170 Australasian and Oceanian, and seven Indomalayan species. Some species endemic to the Hawaiian islands are characterized by their lack of wings. After the introduction of invasive ants and other alien species such as wild boar (Sus scrofa) to the islands, some of these flightless species are believed extinct.
Dolichopus is a large cosmopolitan genus of flies in the family Dolichopodidae. Adults are small flies, typically less than 8 mm in length. Nearly all species are metallic greenish-blue to greenish-bronze. It is the largest genus of Dolichopodidae with more than 600 species worldwide.
Ceratopos is a genus of flies in the family Dolichopodidae, known from Algeria and Portugal. It contains only one species, Ceratopos seguyi. It is closely related to Syntormon, and is considered a junior synonym of it according to Evenhuis & Bickel (2022).
Paraclius is a genus of flies in the family Dolichopodidae.
Plagioneurus is a genus of long-legged flies in the family Dolichopodidae. It contains only one species, Plagioneurus univittatus, and is the only member of the subfamily Plagioneurinae. The range of P. univittatus spans from the Eastern United States south to South America.
Thinophilus is a genus of flies in the family Dolichopodidae.
Wheelerenomyia is an extinct genus of flies in the family Dolichopodidae, known from the Eocene of the Baltic region. The genus was first described in 1907 by Fernand Meunier, who named it after William Morton Wheeler. It is close to the Mesorhagini.
Hydrophorinae is a subfamily of flies in the family Dolichopodidae. Several studies have found evidence that the subfamily in its current sense is polyphyletic.
Diaphorinae is a subfamily of flies in the family Dolichopodidae.
Cryptophleps is a genus of flies in the family Dolichopodidae.
Sympycninae is a subfamily of flies in the family Dolichopodidae.
Haromyia is a genus of flies in the family Dolichopodidae. It contains only one species, Haromyia iviei, known from Dominica. Flies in the genus and species have a small body size measuring between 1.0 to 1.5 mm in length, a bulging clypeus with six large setae, and wing veins that are nearly straight and evenly diverge from the base of the wing to the tip.
Mberu is a genus of flies in the family Dolichopodidae. It is known from the Atlantic Forest in southeastern Brazil, and contains only one species, Mberu pepocatu. The generic name is the Tupi–Guarani word for "fly". The specific name is a combination of the Tupi–Guarani words pepo ("wing") and cato ("beautiful"), referring to the vein pattern of the wings.
Humongochela is a genus of flies in the family Dolichopodidae. It is known from three of the Marquesas Islands, with one species on each. All three species are found on vertical surfaces near waterfalls. Flies in the genus have extremely long tarsal claws as well as extremely reduced pulvilli. These are presumed to be evolutionary adaptions to allow better grip on the slippery substrata near waterfalls. The generic name is derived from the American slang "humongous" and the Latin chela ("claw"), referring to their extremely long claws.
Hercostomoides is a genus of flies in the family Dolichopodidae. It is known from Asia to Australia and the western Pacific Ocean.
Microphorella is a genus of flies in the family Dolichopodidae. It is currently considered both paraphyletic and polyphyletic, and several species groups may need to be recognised as subgenera or genera.
