Ortalis is an historic genus of Ulidiid or picture-winged flies, first described by Fallén in 1810. It served as the type genus for the family Ulidiidae, which was called Ortalidae at the time. In 1932, it was pointed out by Adlrich that the name Ortalis was preoccupied by a genus of birds which had been named by Merrem in 1786. The name of the fly family was therefore revised, with some authors calling it Otitidae until Ulidiidae was settled on as standard. The genus itself was found to be paraphyletic, and all of its species have been reassigned to other genera, some in the Ulidiidae, and some in other Tephritoid families. In the following list, the species are organized according to the families and genera to which they have been reassigned.

Halobates micans is a species of water strider in the family Gerridae. It is one of five Halobates species that live on the surface of the open ocean, only occurring near the coast when storms blow them ashore. Unlike the others that are restricted to the in the Indian and/or Pacific Oceans, H. micans is circumglobal, occurring offshore in warmer seas around the world. It is the only Halobates species found in the Atlantic Ocean where it ranges from about 40° north to 40° south.
