Systematics
The subfamily Dolichopodinae is divided into two tribes, Dolichopodini and Tachytrechini, in
Negrobov (1986, 1991).
In Brooks (2005)'s phylogenetic analysis of the subfamily, these tribes are not supported, and four informal generic groups are instead recognised.
The following list of genera generally follows Grichanov (2017):
*''
Allohercostomus''

Parent
A parent is either the progenitor of a child or, in humans, it can refer to a caregiver or legal guardian, generally called an adoptive parent or step-parent. Parents who are progenitors are First-degree relative, first-degree relatives and have ...
