Dolichopus brevimanus
A species of long-legged fly in the family Dolichopodidae, characterized by relatively short male fore tarsi compared to other Dolichopus species. The specific epithet "brevimanus" (short-handed) refers to this reduced ornamentation on the male front feet. Like other members of its genus, it is predatory on small insects. Species identification in Dolichopus generally requires examination of male genitalia.
