Dolichopus is a large cosmopolitan genus of flies in the family Dolichopodidae. Adults are small flies, typically less than 8 mm in length. Nearly all species are metallic greenish-blue to greenish-bronze.[3] It is the largest genus of Dolichopodidae with more than 600 species worldwide.[4]

The name of the genus (δολιχός, long, and ποὺς, foot) refers to the length of the feet of its species.[5]

  • Dolichopus sp. female with prey (video, 1m 23s)

Species groups and subgenera

The following species groups exist in Dolichopus:

  • Dolichopus latipennis species group (= Hygroceleuthus Loew, 1857)[6]
  • Dolichopus lonchophorus species group[7]
  • Dolichopus longisetus species group[8]
  • Dolichopus planitarsis species group (8 species)[9] – Palaearctic
  • Dolichopus plumipes species group (11 species)[10] – Palaearctic
  • Dolichopus sagittarius species group[11]
  • Dolichopus salictorum species group[12]
  • Dolichopus signifer species group[13]
  • Dolichopus sublimbatus species group (4 species)[14]
  • Dolichopus tewoensis species group (3 species)[15] – China

Sometimes the following are considered subgenera of Dolichopus:[16]

  • Dolichopus Latreille, 1796
  • Hygroceleuthus Loew, 1857 (= Dolichopus latipennis species group)
  • Macrodolichopus Stackelberg, 1933
