Physopyga is a genus of flies in the family Dolichopodidae found in mangroves in Papua New Guinea. [1] [2] [3] It contains a single species, Physopyga miranda. [1]
Abatetia is a genus of flies in the family Dolichopodidae. It contains a single species, Abatetia robusta, and is found in New Zealand. The genus was originally known as Nelsonia, named by Octave Parent in 1933. The genus was then transferred to Cymatopus by Parent in 1937. Separately, David Miller found the name Nelsonia to be preoccupied by Nelsonia, and renamed it to Abatetia in 1945. However, the genus remained a synonym of Cymatopus until 1984, when it was restored as a separate genus by Henk J. G. Meuffels and Patrick Grootaert. Due to Nelsonia being preoccupied, Abatetia became the name of the genus.
Aphrosylus is a genus of flies in the family Dolichopodidae. All species are intertidal in habitat.
Cemocarus is a genus of flies in the family Dolichopodidae. It is known from South Africa and Namibia.
Chaetogonopteron is a genus of flies in the family Dolichopodidae.
Cymatopus is a genus of flies in the family Dolichopodidae. Members of the genus are found on rocky coasts of the Indo-West Pacific.
Paramedetera is a genus of fly in the family Dolichopodidae. It is distributed from southern China and Southeast Asia to Papua New Guinea, with a single species from the Afrotropical realm. It is placed in the subfamily Medeterinae, though molecular phylogenetic analyses suggest it may not belong in that subfamily. Unlike most members of Medeterinae, which are arboreal, Paramedetera is soil-dwelling and lives near aquatic habitats.
Phacaspis is a genus of flies in the family Dolichopodidae. It is known from Southeast Asia, Papua New Guinea and Micronesia. Flies in the genus are small, with metallic green coloring. They are marine, and are commonly found on mudflats in front of mangroves.
Scepastopyga is a genus of flies in the family Dolichopodidae. There is only one described species, Scepastopyga semiflava, which was described from Papua New Guinea by Patrick Grootaert and Henk J. G. Meuffels in 1997. An unidentified species of Scepastopyga was reported from Singapore in 2002, which is thought to show that the genus may be distributed across the Malesian Archipegalo. The fly is small, with a body length of about 2 mm, and is coloured yellow or brown without a metallic gloss.
Scotiomyia is a genus of flies in the family Dolichopodidae. It is distributed in Papua New Guinea, Singapore and China.
Thinolestris is a genus of flies in the family Dolichopodidae. The genus is distributed along coasts of the Western Pacific and Southeast Asia, and members of the genus are found in the intertidal zone. According to Grootaert and Evenhuis (2006), adults are active on beaches with small pebbles mixed with sandy patches.
Thinophilus is a genus of flies in the family Dolichopodidae. It includes about 146 described species distributed worldwide. Most species of the genus are found in coastal habitats, while a few species are found in freshwater habitats.
Urodolichus is a genus of fly in the family Dolichopodidae. It is known from the Afrotropical realm, Indomalayan realm and Australasian realm. It has been placed in either Rhaphiinae or Diaphorinae, though Grichanov & Brooks (2017) consider the genus to be incertae sedis within the family Dolichopodidae.
Hydrophorinae is a subfamily of flies in the family Dolichopodidae. Several molecular phylogenetic analyses of the family have found evidence that the subfamily in its current sense is polyphyletic.
Achalcinae is a subfamily of flies in the family Dolichopodidae. It is an ancestral group close to Medeterinae and Sciapodinae.
Rhaphiinae is a subfamily of flies in the family Dolichopodidae.
Ngirhaphium is a genus of flies in the family Dolichopodidae. It includes six species known from mangroves in Southeast Asia. Ngirhaphium closely resembles the genus Rhaphium and was originally placed in the subfamily Rhaphiinae, though several molecular phylogenetic analyses were unable to resolve its phylogenetic position. The genus is named after Peter Kee Lin Ng, a professor at the National University of Singapore; the genus name combines the family name "Ng" and the generic name Rhaphium.
Protomedetera is a genus of flies in the family Dolichopodidae. The genus contains four species, and is found in Papua New Guinea, Singapore and Malaysia.
Eothalassius is a genus of flies in the family Dolichopodidae. It contains four described species, from Southeast Asia, Papua New Guinea, Costa Rica and the Mediterranean. It also contains three undescribed species, one from New Caledonia and two from Japan.
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.
