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 ...

Parathalassiinae
Parathalassiinae is a subfamily of flies in the family Dolichopodidae. It is part of an extended concept of the family, Dolichopodidae ''sensu lato'', and forms a monophyletic group with Dolichopodidae ''sensu stricto''. It was once placed provisionally in the subfamily Microphorinae as the tribe Parathalassiini. According to Germann ''et al.'' (2011), there is strong evidence for placing Parathalassiinae within Dolichopodidae ''sensu stricto''. Genera The subfamily currently includes 12 genera: *'' Amphithalassius'' Ulrich, 1991 *†'' Archichrysotus'' Negrobov, 1978 *'' Chimerothalassius'' Shamshev & Grootaert, 2003 *†'' Cretomicrophorus'' Negrobov, 1978 *†'' Electrophorella'' Cumming & Brooks, 2002 *'' Eothalassius'' Shamshev & Grootaert, 2005 *'' Microphorella'' Becker Becker () is one of the German-language surnames, along with Bäcker and Baecker, that derive from the root, which refers to baking.
