Dolichopodidae genera

Dolichopus is a large cosmopolitan genus of flies in the family Dolichopodidae. Adults are small flies, typically less than 8 mm in length. Nearly all species are metallic greenish-blue to greenish-bronze. It is the largest genus of Dolichopodidae with more than 600 species worldwide.

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, on which they have a characteristic vertical upright stance. Because of this stance, they are sometimes known as "woodpecker flies". Medetera adults are predators of soft-bodied arthropods, while the larvae are predators of bark beetle larvae.

Campsicnemus is a genus of flies in family Dolichopodidae. There are more than 290 described species, made up of 34 Palearctic, 22 Nearctic, seven Afrotropic, 170 Australasian and Oceanian, and seven Indomalayan species. Some species endemic to the Hawaiian islands are characterized by their lack of wings. After the introduction of invasive ants and other alien species such as wild boar (Sus scrofa) to the islands, some of these flightless species are believed extinct.

Chrysotus is a genus of flies in the family Dolichopodidae. It is one of the largest genera in the subfamily Diaphorinae, with more than 460 species. However, the genus is probably paraphyletic, and possibly even polyphyletic, with respect to several related genera such as Achradocera, Falbouria and Lyroneurus.

Condylostylus is a genus of flies in the family Dolichopodidae. It is the second largest genus in the subfamily Sciapodinae, with more than 250 species included. It has a high diversity in the Neotropical realm, where 70% of the species occur.

Neurigona is a genus of flies in the family Dolichopodidae. It is a large genus, with over 150 known species.

Sciapus is a genus of long-legged flies in the family Dolichopodidae. There are about 82 described species in Sciapus.

Hydrophorus is a genus of flies in the family Dolichopodidae.

Gymnopternus is a genus of flies in the family Dolichopodidae. It was formerly placed as a subgenus of Hercostomus, but is now accepted as a separate genus.

Thrypticus is a genus of long-legged flies in the family Dolichopodidae. There are about 90 described species in Thrypticus. All known larvae of the genus are phytophagous stem-miners of plants in the families Cyperaceae, Poaceae, Juncaceae, and Pontederiaceae. Female adults have a strong, pointed ovipositor used to pierce and insert eggs in the stems of the plants.

Scellus is a genus of flies in the family Dolichopodidae. It is distributed in the Palearctic and Nearctic.

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.

Microphor is a genus of flies in the family Dolichopodidae, subfamily Microphorinae.

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 (such as Alishanimyia).

Epithalassius is a genus of flies in the family Dolichopodidae, with eight known species. They are generally found in the Palaearctic, occurring on sand beaches near the coast. An exception to this is E. africus, which was described from a damaged female specimen collected near Brazzaville in the Republic of the Congo. The generic assignment of this African species has been doubted. E. corsicanus has also been recorded from Saint Helena in the Atlantic Ocean, and is probably an introduced species to the island.

Members of the genus are metallic green in color and are small in size, with a body length of 2.5–3.2 mm and a wing length of 2.8–3.4 mm. The generic name is a combination of the prefix allo- (from the Ancient Greek , , meaning "other") with the generic name Hercostomus. In Brooks (2005)'s phylogenetic analysis of the subfamily Dolichopodinae, Allohercostomus was hypothesized to be the most basal member of the subfamily based on a triangular depression present on the scut
