Wiedemannia zwicki is a species of dance flies, in the fly family Empididae.
Empididae is a family of flies with over 3,000 described species occurring worldwide in all the biogeographic realms but the majority are found in the Holarctic. They are mainly predatory flies like most of their relatives in the Empidoidea, and exhibit a wide range of forms but are generally small to medium-sized, non-metallic and rather bristly.
The Opetiidae or flat-footed flies are members of a family of flies. The family contains only five extant species in two genera, Opetia, and Puyehuemyia. the remaining taxa are known only from fossils.
Empis is a genus of dance fly, in the fly family Empididae. It contains the following subgenera and species:
Empis digramma is a species of dance flies, in the fly family Empididae. It is included in the subgenus Xanthempis. The thorax is gray with yellowish sides, with two dark stripes following the line of the dorsocentral bristles. Abdomen is gray upper and yellowish on the sides. The fly's length is 5–7.5 millimetres (0.2–0.3 in).
Empidinae are a subfamily of empidoid flies. They are mainly predatory flies like most of their relatives, and generally small to medium-sized. Most species are flower visitors and they can be effective pollinators.
Ragadidae is a family of true flies in the superfamily Empidoidea. It was formerly considered a lower taxon, but was published as a new subfamily within Empididae in 2016. Since then, it has been classified as the sister group to Empididae, and has been elevated to family level based on the genetic differences which separate it from Empididae.
Heleodromia is a genus of flies in the family Empididae.
Phaeobalia is a genus of flies in the family Empididae.
