Poecilobothrus is a genus of flies in the family Dolichopodidae. [6]
Unrecognised species:
Argyra is a genus of flies in the family Dolichopodidae. The name "Argyra" comes from the Greek word for "silver".
Hercostomus is a genus of flies in the family Dolichopodidae. It is a large genus, containing more than 483 species worldwide. Multiple studies have shown that Hercostomus is a polyphyletic assemblage of species.
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.
Coracocephalus is a genus of flies in the family Dolichopodidae. It includes two species distributed in Austria.
Diaphorus is a genus of flies in the family Dolichopodidae. Lyroneurus is considered by some authors to be a subgenus of this genus.
Diostracus is a genus of flies in the family Dolichopodidae.
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, on which they have a characteristic vertical upright stance. Because of this stance, they are sometimes known as "woodpecker flies". Medetera adults are predators of soft-bodied arthropods, while the larvae are predators of bark beetle larvae.
Rhaphium is a genus of flies in the family Dolichopodidae. It is the largest genus within the subfamily Rhaphiinae, with over 200 species currently known.
Sybistroma is a genus of flies in the family Dolichopodidae. It includes over 50 species, described mainly from the Palaearctic and Oriental realms. A single species is known from the Afrotropical realm. Until 2005, the genus was thought to be restricted to the Mediterranean in distribution, with five known species. It was recently expanded to include the former genera Hypophyllus, Ludovicius and Nordicornis, as well as some species of Hercostomus.
Tachytrechus is a genus of long-legged flies in the family Dolichopodidae.
Teuchophorus is a genus of flies in the family Dolichopodidae.
Hydrophorinae is a subfamily of flies in the family Dolichopodidae. Several studies have found evidence that the subfamily in its current sense is polyphyletic.
Dolichopodinae is a subfamily of flies in the family Dolichopodidae.
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.
Gymnopternus is a genus of flies in the family Dolichopodidae. It was formerly placed as a subgenus of Hercostomus, but is now accepted as a separate genus.
Setihercostomus is a genus of flies in the family Dolichopodidae, known from China, Taiwan, Russia and Tanzania.
