Sinodrapetis is a genus of flies in the family Hybotidae. [2]
The Lauxaniidae are a family of acalyptrate flies. They generally are small flies with large compound eyes that often are brightly coloured in life, sometimes with characteristic horizontal stripes, such as in Cestrotus species. Many species have variegated patterns on their wings, but in contrast they generally do not have variegated bodies, except for genera such as Cestrotus, whose camouflage mimics lichens or the texture of granitic rocks.
Hybotidae, the typical dance flies, are a family of true flies. They belong to the superfamily Empidoidea and were formerly included in the Empididae as a subfamily.
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.
Chaetogonopteron is a genus of flies in the family Dolichopodidae.
Chrysotimus is a genus of longlegged flies in the family Dolichopodidae. It is cosmopolitan in distribution, but it is probably paraphyletic with respect to several genera of limited distribution.
Lichtwardtia is a genus of flies in the family Dolichopodidae. It is known from the Afrotropical, Oriental and Australasian realms. It can be recognised by its zigzag-shaped M vein on the wings, and its feather-like hairs on the apex segment of the antennae. In a phylogenetic analysis of the subfamily Dolichopodinae by Scott E. Brooks in 2005, Lichtwardtia is considered to be a synonym of Dolichopus, but subsequent authors have retained it as a valid genus.
Nepalomyia is a genus of flies in the family Dolichopodidae.
Paramedetera is a genus of fly in the family Dolichopodidae. It is distributed from southern China and Southeast Asia to Papua New Guinea, with a single species from the Afrotropical realm. It is placed in the subfamily Medeterinae, though molecular phylogenetic analyses suggest it may not belong in that subfamily. Unlike most members of Medeterinae, which are arboreal, Paramedetera is soil-dwelling and lives near aquatic habitats.
Phacaspis is a genus of flies in the family Dolichopodidae. It is known from Southeast Asia, Papua New Guinea and Micronesia. Flies in the genus are small, with metallic green coloring. They are marine, and are commonly found on mudflats in front of mangroves.
Teuchophorus is a genus of flies in the family Dolichopodidae.
Thinophilus is a genus of flies in the family Dolichopodidae. It includes about 146 described species distributed worldwide. Most species of the genus are found in coastal habitats, while a few species are found in freshwater habitats.
Tachydromiinae is a subfamily of hybotid flies widespread in the world.
Drapetini is a tribe of hybotid flies widespread in the world. There are 19 currently recognised genera. See the Wikispecies link below for details.
Hybos is a genus of hybotid flies.
Medeterinae is a subfamily of flies in the family Dolichopodidae.
Protomedetera is a genus of flies in the family Dolichopodidae. The genus contains four species, and is found in Papua New Guinea, Singapore and Malaysia.
Crossopalpus is a genus of flies in the family Hybotidae.
Elaphropeza is a genus of flies in the family Hybotidae, first described by Pierre-Justin-Marie Macquart in 1827.
