Pseudoparaclius is a genus of flies in the family Dolichopodidae. [3] [4] It was established by Igor Grichanov in 2006, for 14 species from Africa that were originally placed in Paracleius (now a synonym of Pelastoneurus ). Two additional species were described in 2015 and 2020.
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.
Argyrochlamys is a genus of flies in the family Dolichopodidae. It is known from the Afrotropics, the Oriental realm, and the southernmost part of the Palearctic realm. The genus is closely related to the genera Pseudargyrochlamys and Phoomyia. Species of Argyrochlamys are restricted to ocean beaches, and are usually collected in the burrows of ghost crabs. Their ecological role within these burrows is currently unknown. Adults of Argyrochlamys have a non-metallic dull body color, ranging from pale yellowish brown to dark grey.
Condylostylus is a genus of flies in the family Dolichopodidae. It is the second largest genus in the subfamily Sciapodinae, with more 250 species included. It has a high diversity in the Neotropical realm, where 70% of the species occur.
Dactylonotus is a genus of flies in the family Dolichopodidae. Six of the species in the genus are found in southern Africa, though one species, Dactylonotus formosus, is found in New Zealand.
Diaphorus is a genus of flies in the family Dolichopodidae. Lyroneurus is considered by some authors to be a subgenus of this genus.
Euxiphocerus is a genus of fly in the family Dolichopodidae from the Afrotropical realm. It was originally placed in the subfamily Rhaphiinae, but some authors now place it in Medeterinae, tribe Systenini.
Katangaia is an African genus of flies in the family Dolichopodidae. It was originally placed in the subfamily Rhaphiinae, though it was later transferred to Dolichopodinae. In 2005, based on a cladistic analysis of the subfamily, Scott E. Brooks excluded Katangaia from the Dolichopodinae. However, later authors have retained the genus in this subfamily.
Nurteria is a genus of flies in the family Dolichopodidae, found in the Afrotropical realm. Three species are currently known in the genus, but there are also numerous undescribed species of the genus from southern Africa. It was originally described in the subfamily Diaphorinae, though it possesses some features of the Sympycninae.
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.
Tenuopus is a genus of flies in the family Dolichopodidae. It is the only genus in the subfamily Tenuopodinae, which was created by Igor Grichanov in 2018. The genus was previously placed in the subfamily Neurigoninae, and it also shares some features of Peloropeodinae and Sciapodinae. All species are known from the Afrotropical realm.
Dolichopodinae is a subfamily of flies in the family Dolichopodidae.
Afropelastoneurus is a genus of flies in the family Dolichopodidae. It includes five species from Africa formerly placed in Paracleius or Pelastoneurus.
Afroparaclius is a genus of flies in the family Dolichopodidae. It includes two species from Africa formerly placed in Paracleius.
Apelastoneurus is a genus of flies in the family Dolichopodidae. It includes 47 species from Africa formerly placed in Paracleius or Pelastoneurus.
Pseudargyrochlamys is a genus of flies in the family Dolichopodidae. It was first established by Igor Grichanov in 2006 for four species of Paracleius from eastern South Africa. A fifth species from South Africa was described in 2020. Members of the genus are restricted to the coast of southern Africa between East London in South Africa and Maputo in Mozambique. The genus is closely related to Argyrochlamys and Phoomyia, which are also found in coastal habitats.
Pseudopelastoneurus is a genus of flies in the family Dolichopodidae. It includes two African species that were formerly classified in the genus Pelastoneurus.
Setihercostomus is a genus of flies in the family Dolichopodidae, known from China, Taiwan, Russia and Tanzania.
Neohercostomus is a genus of flies in the family Dolichopodidae. Many of the species were formerly from "Hercostomus Group III", one of three groups of Afrotropical Hercostomus species created by Igor Grichanov in 1999.
Subhercostomus is a subgenus of Neohercostomus, a genus of flies in the family Dolichopodidae. The type species, N. turneri, was formerly from "Hercostomus Group III", one of three groups of Afrotropical Hercostomus species created by Igor Grichanov in 1999.
Afrohercostomus is a genus of flies in the family Dolichopodidae. Many of the species were formerly from "Hercostomus Group I", one of three groups of Afrotropical Hercostomus species created by Igor Grichanov in 1999.
