Cheiromyia Nordestina
''Cheiromyia'' is a genus of fly, flies in the family Dolichopodidae. It is found in the Neotropical realm. It was originally named ''Cheirocerus'' by Octave Parent in 1930, but was renamed to ''Cheiromyia'' by C. E. Dyte in 1980 after it was found to be preoccupied by the catfish genus ''Cheirocerus'' (Eigenmann, 1917). The antennae of the males bear one or more elongate projections on an enlarged postpedicel, resembling antlers. ''Cheiromyia'' is closely related to some species of ''Paraclius''.
