Shamshevia is a genus of flies in the family Dolichopodidae. It has a disjunct distribution, occurring in both the western Old World and the Fiji islands, and lives in varied ecological habitats. [2] The genus is named after the Russian dipterist Igor Shamshev. [1]
Five species are included in the genus: [2]
Corindia is a genus of flies in the family Dolichopodidae. It is known from the Afrotropical and Australasian realms, and is closely related to the genus Thrypticus. In Australia, adults of the genus are often found on smooth-barked eucalypt trees, and display a stance similar to that of Medetera. The genus is named after Corindi, a geographical place name of aboriginal origin on the New South Wales northern coast.
Dytomyia is a genus of flies in the family Dolichopodidae. It is known from Australia, Madagascar and Kenya, with an undescribed species from Papua New Guinea.
Guzeriplia is a genus of flies in the family Dolichopodidae. It is known from southern Russia, Georgia, China and Turkey. It is considered a synonym of Chrysotimus by some authors, but is considered a separate genus by others.
Mascaromyia is a genus of flies in the family Dolichopodidae, endemic to the western Indian Ocean islands. It is named after the main distribution of the genus, the islands of the submarine Mascarene Plateau, combining it with "myia".
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. The larvae are predators of bark beetle larvae.
Mesorhaga is a genus of flies in the family Dolichopodidae.
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.
Saccopheronta is a genus of fly in the family Dolichopodidae. It is considered a synonym of Medetera by some authors, and a valid genus by others.
Systenus is a genus of fly in the family Dolichopodidae.
Trigonocera is a genus of flies in the family Dolichopodidae. It is known from the Afrotropical, Oriental and Palaearctic realms.
Dolichopodinae is a subfamily of flies in the family Dolichopodidae.
Diaphorinae is a subfamily of flies in the family Dolichopodidae.
Cryptophleps is a genus of flies in the family Dolichopodidae.
Medeterinae is a subfamily of flies in the family Dolichopodidae.
Medeterella is a genus of flies in the family Dolichopodidae. It contains nine species formerly included in Medetera in the M. salomonis species group. The species are found in the Afrotropical, Oriental and Australasian regions. According to Naglis and Bickel (2012), it was unwarranted to establish a separate genus for this group of species.
Demetera is a genus of flies in the family Dolichopodidae. It contains eight species formerly included in Medetera in the M. melanesiana species group. The species are found in the Afrotropical, Oriental and Australasian regions. According to Naglis and Bickel (2012), it was unwarranted to establish a separate genus for this group of species.
Emiratomyia is a genus of flies in the family Dolichopodidae from the United Arab Emirates. It contains only one species, Emiratomyia arabica. The generic name refers to the country where E. arabica was collected, the United Arab Emirates. The specific name refers to the geographic region where the species was collected, the Arabian Peninsula.
Aphasmaphleps is a genus of flies in the family Dolichopodidae from the Afrotropical realm. The genus was first described by Igor Grichanov in 2010. The name Aphasmaphleps refers to the genus Phasmaphleps, which was originally considered to be closely related to it. According to Capellari & Grichanov (2012), Aphasmaphleps more closely resembles Asyndetus and Cryptophleps.
Griphophanes is a genus of flies in the family Dolichopodidae. It is known from Southeast Asia and the Democratic Republic of the Congo in Central Africa.
