Suragina is a genus of flies in the family Athericidae.
Chrysopilus is common, worldwide genus of predatory snipe flies. There are approximately 300 species in the genus, including fossil members that are sometimes found in amber.
Rhagionidae or snipe flies are a small family of flies. They get their name from the similarity of their often prominent proboscis that looks like the beak of a snipe.
Rhagio is a worldwide genus of predatory snipe flies. Several species in this genus are referred to as downlooker or down-looker flies because they sometimes perch on tree trunks in a head-down position. There are approximately 170 species. They can be distinguished from other rhagionids by the open anal cell on the wings and the lack of a kidney-shaped arista.
Athericidae is a small family of flies known as water snipe flies or ibis flies. They used to be placed in the family Rhagionidae, but were removed by Stuckenberg in 1973. They are now known to be more closely related to Tabanidae. Species of Athericidae are found worldwide.
Symphoromyia is a genus of predatory snipe flies. Unusually for Rhagionids, some species of Symphoromyia are known to feed on mammal blood, including human blood. Symphoromyia species are stout bodied flies from 4.5 to 9 mm and with a black, grey or gold thorax, and the abdomen is coloured grey, black, or both black and yellow, black terminating with yellow, to completely yellow. The wings are hyaline or lightly infuscate.
Arthroceras is a genus of snipe fly of the family Rhagionidae. Arthroceras are mid-sized to large 4.5 to 13 millimetres, black, grey, or yellowish-colored flies that have a fairly long, tapering antenna consisting of 5–8 flagellomeres. Within Rhagonidae, the genus is sometimes(?) placed in the subfamily Arthrocerinae, in which it is the only genus.
Atherimorpha is a genus of snipe fly of the family Rhagionidae.
Milesia is a genus of very large hoverflies, which mimic social wasps. For example, the European species Milesia crabroniformis is a convincing mimic of the hornet species Vespa crabro. Milesia are predominantly Palaeotropical in distribution almost entirely Oriental.
Graptomyza is a genus of hoverflies.
Oxycera is a genus of flies in the family Stratiomyidae.
Hermetia is a genus of flies of the family Stratiomyidae.
Rachicerus is a genus of flies in the family Xylophagidae.
Atherix is a genus of 'ibis flies' belonging to the family Athericidae, a small family very similar to the Rhagionidae. Species within this genus are present in most of Europe and also in the Nearctic realm.
Solva is a fly genus in the family Xylomyidae, the "wood soldier flies".
Mydas is a genus of flies in the family Mydidae.
Allognosta is a genus of soldier flies in the family Stratiomyidae.
Drapetis is a genus of flies in the family Hybotidae.
Atrichops is a genus of flies in the family Athericidae.
