Peloropeodinae Explained

Peloropeodinae is a subfamily of flies in the family Dolichopodidae. In some classifications, the genera of the subfamily are included in Sympycninae.^[1] According to a molecular phylogenetic analysis of the family Dolichopodidae by Germann et al. (2011), the subfamily is polyphyletic.^[2]

• Chrysotimus Loew, 1857^[7]
• Cremmus Wei, 2006^[8]
