Thambemyia is a genus of flies in the family Dolichopodidae. [2] It known from the Oriental and Neotropical realms, with a single Palearctic species from Japan. Members of the genus live exclusively in the intertidal zone of rocky shores. Conchopus is sometimes considered a synonym of Thambemyia, but the former is considered a valid genus by some authors.

If Conchopus is a synonym of Thambemyia, the following species would also be included in the genus:
Acymatopus is a genus of flies in the family Dolichopodidae. It is distributed in Japan and China, and lives exclusively on marine coasts. It is similar in appearance to the genus Conchopus, which is also found in marine coasts.
Chaetogonopteron is a genus of flies in the family Dolichopodidae.
Chrysosoma is a genus of flies in the family Dolichopodidae. It is a large genus, with more than 200 species distributed in the Old World and Oceania.
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.
Cymatopus is a genus of flies in the family Dolichopodidae. Members of the genus are found on rocky coasts of the Indo-West Pacific.
Diostracus is a genus of flies in the family Dolichopodidae. It includes about 100 species described from the Nearctic, Palaearctic and Oriental realms. In 2013, it was expanded to include the former genera Lagodechia and Sphyrotarsus as subgenera.
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.
Neurigona is a genus of flies in the family Dolichopodidae. It is a large genus, with over 150 known species.
Paraclius is a genus of flies in the family Dolichopodidae. It is currently considered a polyphyletic assemblage of species.
Plagiozopelma is a genus of flies in the family Dolichopodidae.
Rhaphium is a genus of flies in the family Dolichopodidae. It is the largest genus within the subfamily Rhaphiinae, with over 200 species currently known.
Syntormon is a genus of flies in the family Dolichopodidae. It includes about 110 species worldwide, more than 50 of which were described from the Palaearctic realm.
Teuchophorus is a genus of long-legged flies in the family Dolichopodidae. There are more than 130 described species in Teuchophorus.
Hydrophorinae is a subfamily of flies in the family Dolichopodidae. Several molecular phylogenetic analyses of the family have found evidence that the subfamily in its current sense is polyphyletic.
Dolichopodinae is a subfamily of flies in the family Dolichopodidae.
Peloropeodinae is a subfamily of flies in the family Dolichopodidae. In some classifications, the genera of the subfamily are included in Sympycninae. According to a molecular phylogenetic analysis of the family Dolichopodidae by Germann et al. (2011), the subfamily is polyphyletic.
Conchopus is a genus of flies in the family Dolichopodidae. Species of the genus are found in Japan, China, Taiwan, the Hawaiian Islands, and Wake Island. The species Conchopus borealis is also an introduced species in North America and South America. Members of the genus live exclusively in the intertidal zone of rocky shores. The genus is sometimes considered a synonym of Thambemyia, but is considered a valid genus by some authors.
