Anisopodinae
Anisopodinae is a subfamily of wood gnats within the family Anisopodidae (Diptera). These small flies are characterized by their humpbacked thorax and distinctive wing venation with a reduced anal lobe. The subfamily includes the genus Anisopus, whose members are associated with decaying wood and fungal habitats. Adults are frequently observed running on vegetation rather than flying.
