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 a molecular phylogenetic analysis of the family Dolichopodidae by 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 – Late Cretaceous *'' Chimerothalassius'' Shamshev & Grootaert, 2003 *†'' Cretomicrophorus'' Negrobov, 1978 – Late Cretaceous *†'' Electrophorella'' Cumming & Brooks, 2002 – Baltic amber, Eocene *'' Eothalassius'' Shamshev & Grootaert, 2005 *'' Microphorella'' Becker, 1909 *'' Neothalassius'' Brooks & Cumming, 2016 *'' Parathalassius'' ...

Dolichopodidae
Dolichopodidae, the long-legged flies, are a large, cosmopolitan family of true flies with more than 8,000 described species in about 250 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. Description Dolichopodidae are a family of flies ranging in size from minute to medium-sized (1mm to 9mm). They have characteristically long and slender legs, though their leg length is not as striking as in families such as the Tipulidae. Their posture often is stilt-like standing high on their legs, with the body ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
