Dactylomyia
Dactylomyia is a genus of long-legged flies in the family Dolichopodidae, comprising seven recognized species distributed across eastern North America, Central America, the Lesser Antilles, and the Hawaiian Islands. The genus was established by Aldrich in 1894 and belongs to the tribe Dactylomyiini within the subfamily Neurigoninae. One species, D. vockerothi, represents an accidental introduction to Midway Atoll in the Hawaiian Islands, likely originating from the Neotropics via the main Hawaiian islands.
