Loewimyia
Loewimyia is a genus of small flies in the family Asteiidae, established by Curtis W. Sabrosky in 1943. The genus belongs to a family of minute acalyptrate Diptera that are often overlooked due to their size. Species within Asteiidae are generally associated with decaying vegetation and fungi. Loewimyia appears to be a relatively obscure genus with limited published biological information.

Phlebosotera is a genus of small flies in the family Asteiidae, established by Duda in 1927. Members of this family are generally minute, delicate flies associated with decaying plant matter and fungi. The genus is poorly documented in published literature, with limited species-level information available.
