Hercostomus is a genus of flies in the family Dolichopodidae. It is a large genus, containing more than 483 species worldwide.

<i>Anepsiomyia</i> Genus of flies

Anepsiomyia is a genus of flies in the family Dolichopodidae. It contains only one extant species from Europe, A. flaviventris, as well as two fossil species from the Eocene of Russia and Belarus. The systematic position of the genus is currently uncertain: it has been variously placed in subfamilies such as Sympycninae and Peloropeodinae.

Palaeoargyra is an extinct genus of flies in the family Dolichopodidae, known from Baltic amber. It contains only one species, Palaeoargyra mutabilis. It was originally proposed as a subgenus of Argyra, but was later considered a separate genus.

Palaeomedeterus is an extinct genus of flies in the family Dolichopodidae, known from Baltic amber and Cambay amber from the Eocene. The genus was first proposed by Fernand Meunier in 1895 with no included species or description, though illustrations were provided for six different unnamed species.

Prochrysotus is an extinct genus of fly in the family Dolichopodidae, known from the Eocene of the Baltic region. It contains only one species, Prochrysotus magnus.

<i>Sybistroma</i> Genus of flies

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.

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.
