Ateloglossa
Ateloglossa is a genus of tachinid flies in the tribe Dexiini, subfamily Dexiinae. The genus was established by Coquillett in 1899 and contains 14 described species distributed primarily in North America. Species are distinguished by morphological features typical of the Dexiini, including characteristics of the head and thorax. The genus has received limited study, with most species described in the early 20th century.

Billaea
Billaea is a genus of tachinid flies comprising approximately 80 described species. Most larvae are parasitoids of beetle larvae, particularly cerambycids and lucanids, with some species attacking lepidopteran hosts in the family Pyralidae. Several species have been investigated as biological control agents for agricultural and forestry pests, including palm weevils and sugarcane borers.

Dexia
Dexia is a genus of tachinid flies (Diptera: Tachinidae) established by Meigen in 1826. The genus belongs to the subfamily Dexiinae and tribe Dexiini. Most larvae are parasitoids of scarab beetles (Scarabaeidae), though some species attack other beetle families. The genus is distributed across Europe, with confirmed records from Denmark, Norway, and Sweden.

Microchaetina
Microchaetina is a genus of tachinid flies in the subfamily Dexiinae, tribe Dexiini. The genus was described by Wulp in 1891 and contains nine described species. It is predominantly distributed in western and southwestern North America. Biological and host relationships remain poorly documented.

Nimioglossa planicosta
Nimioglossa planicosta is a species of bristle fly (family Tachinidae) described by Reinhard in 1945. It belongs to the subfamily Dexiinae and tribe Dexiini. The species is known from North America, with records from Canada and the United States. As a tachinid fly, it is presumably a parasitoid, though specific host relationships remain undocumented.

Nimioglossa ravida
Nimioglossa ravida is a species of tachinid fly described by Reinhard in 1945. As a member of the family Tachinidae, it belongs to a large group of parasitoid flies. The species has been recorded from Mexico and the United States. Very little specific information about its biology has been documented.

Prosena
Prosena is a genus of tachinid flies (family Tachinidae) within the tribe Dexiini. The genus comprises approximately 30 described species distributed across multiple continents. As with other tachinids, members of this genus are parasitoids, though specific host associations remain largely undocumented in published literature. The genus was established by Le Peletier and Audinet-Serville in 1828.

Prosenoides
Prosenoides is a genus of tachinid flies established by Brauer and Bergenstamm in 1891. The genus comprises 12 described species distributed across the Americas. As members of the Dexiini tribe, these flies are parasitoids, though specific host records for most Prosenoides species remain poorly documented.

Zelia
Zelia is a genus of tachinid flies in the family Tachinidae. Tachinid flies are parasitoids, with larvae developing inside or on other insects. The genus was established by Robineau-Desvoidy in 1830. At least one species, Zelia tricolor, has documented host associations.
