Dolichopodidae
Dolichopodidae, the long-legged flies, are a large, cosmopolitan family of true flies with more than 7,000 described species in about 230 genera. The genus ''Dolichopus'' is the most speciose, with some 600 species. Dolichopodidae generally are small flies with large, prominent eyes and a metallic cast to their appearance, though there is considerable variation among the species. Most have long legs, though some do not. In many species, the males have unusually large genitalia which are taxonomically useful in identifying species. Most adults are predatory on other small animals, though some may scavenge or act as kleptoparasites of spiders or other predators. An expanded concept of the family (Dolichopodidae ''sensu lato'') includes the subfamilies Parathalassiinae and Microphorinae. The latter of these was formerly placed in the Empididae, and was at one time considered a separate family (Microphoridae). However, some authors propose instead that Dolichopodidae ''s.l.'' shou ...

Scepastopyga
''Scepastopyga'' is a genus of flies in the family Dolichopodidae from Papua New Guinea. There is only one described species, ''Scepastopyga semiflava'', described by Patrick Grootaert and Henk J. G. Meuffels in 1997. It is small, with a body length of about 2 mm, and is coloured yellow or brown without a metallic gloss. The generic name is derived from the Greek words skepastós ("covered") and pygè ("rump").

Apterachalcus Borboroides
''Apterachalcus'' is a genus of flies in the family Dolichopodidae. It has only one described species, ''Apterachalcus borboroides'', known from New Zealand. It was originally described by Harold Oldroyd in 1955, who placed the species in ''Acropsilus''. However, Daniel J. Bickel determined that the species did not belong to ''Acropsilus'', and created a new genus for it in 1991. It is wingless and somewhat laterally compressed, giving it a somewhat flea-like appearance. It has been found in the Auckland Islands and Campbell Island in the New Zealand subantarctic. This or closely related undescribed species have also been found at high altitude above the Paparoa Range and Stewart Island. The generic name is derived from the stem ''apter-'' of ''apteros'' ( Greek for "wingless") and ''Achalcus ''Achalcus'' is a genus of flies in the family Dolichopodidae. Species *'' Achalcus bicolor'' Pollet, 2005 *'' Achalcus bilineatus'' Pollet, 2005 *'' Achalcus bimaculatus'' Po ...
