Dolichopodinae Explained

Dolichopodinae is a subfamily of flies in the family Dolichopodidae.^{[1] [2] [3] [4] [5]}

Systematics

The subfamily Dolichopodinae is divided into two tribes, Dolichopodini and Tachytrechini, in Negrobov (1986, 1991).^{[6] [7]} In Brooks (2005)'s phylogenetic analysis of the subfamily, these tribes are not supported, and four informal generic groups are instead recognised.^[8]

The following list of genera generally follows Grichanov (2017):^[9]

Several extinct genera were also described by Hong in 2002, but all except Leptodolichopodites are considered unavailable names because no type repositories for them were specified:^[31]
