  • Diaphorinae

    Diaphorinae is a subfamily of long-legged flies (Diptera: Dolichopodidae) characterized by high taxonomic diversity but imprecisely defined boundaries. Some researchers include genera such as Nematoproctus and Urodolichus within Diaphorinae, while others assign these to related subfamilies Rhaphiinae or Sympycninae. The subfamily contains two recognized tribes: Diaphorini and Argyrini. Members are distinguished by elongated legs and typically metallic coloration common to the family Dolichopodidae.
