Amesorhaga
''Amesorhaga'' is a genus of flies in the family Dolichopodidae. All species in the genus are from the Oriental realm. Species The genus contains seven species, all originally from ''Mesorhaga'': *'' Amesorhaga angulata'' (Parent, 1935) – West Malaysia *'' Amesorhaga argentifacies'' (Parent, 1941) – Thailand, West Malaysia *'' Amesorhaga breviappendiculata'' (De Meijere, 1916) – Java *'' Amesorhaga femorata'' (De Meijere, 1916) – Java *'' Amesorhaga malayensis'' (Parent, 1935) – West Malaysia *'' Amesorhaga mellavana'' (Hollis, 1964) – Sri Lanka *'' Amesorhaga pseudolata'' (Hollis, 1964) – Sri Lanka Four further species of ''Amesorhaga'', all extinct, were described from Baltic amber by Negrobov and Selivanova in 2003: ''A. bickeli'', ''A. longicerca'', ''A. quadrispinosa'' and ''A. vladimiri''. These have since been moved to the extinct genus '' Wheelerenomyia'' by Igor Grichanov Igor Yakovlevich Grichanov (russian: link=no, Игорь Яковлевич Гри ...

Wheelerenomyia
''Wheelerenomyia'' is an extinct genus of flies in the family Dolichopodidae, known from the Eocene of the Baltic region. The genus was first described in 1907 by Fernand Meunier, who named it after William Morton Wheeler. It is close to the Mesorhagini. Species The genus contains 15 species. Originally it had only one species, ''W. eocenica''; in 2008, Igor Grichanov moved 14 extinct species from other sciapodine genera (''Amesorhaga'', ''Nematoproctus'', ''Psilopus'' – now ''Sciapus'' – and ''Neurigona'') to the genus. All species in the genus have strongly sinuate vein M, and were found from Baltic amber. * †'' Wheelerenomyia bickeli'' ( Negrobov & Selivanova, 2003) * †'' Wheelerenomyia corcula'' (Meunier, 1907) * †'' Wheelerenomyia eocenica'' Meunier, 1907 * †'' Wheelerenomyia longicerca'' ( Negrobov & Selivanova, 2003) * †'' Wheelerenomyia originaria'' (Meunier, 1907) * †'' Wheelerenomyia pacata'' (Meunier, 1907) * †'' Wheelerenomyia parca'' (Meunier, ...

Dolichopodidae Genera
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.'' sh ...

Baltic Amber
The Baltic region is home to the largest known deposit of amber, called Baltic amber or succinite. It was produced sometime during the Eocene epoch, but exactly when is controversial. It has been estimated that these forests created more than 100,000 tons of amber. Today, more than 90% of the world's amber comes from Kaliningrad Oblast of Russia. It is a major source of income for the region; the local Kaliningrad Amber Combine extracted 250 tonnes of it in 2014, 400 tonnes in 2015. "Baltic amber" was formerly thought to include amber from the Bitterfeld brown coal mines in Saxony ( Eastern Germany). Bitterfeld amber was previously believed to be only 20–22 million years old (Miocene), but a comparison of the animal inclusions in 2003 suggested that it was possibly Baltic amber that was redeposited in a Miocene deposit. Further study of insect taxa in the ambers has shown Bitterfeld amber to be from the same forest as the Baltic amber forest, but separately deposited from a ...
