Introduction
The known world fauna of Dolichopodidae is very extensive, with
about 6000 species and 180 genera. These mostly predatory flies are
distributed all over the world including tropics and high-latitude
islands. Many regional catalogs of Dolichopodidae faunas were
published within recent decades, such as lists for the following
zoogeographical regions: Nearctic (Foote, Coulson, Robinson, 1965);
Palearctic (Grichanov, Negrobov, 1979; Negrobov, 1991); Neotropics
(Robinson, 1970, 1975); Afrotropics (Dyte & Smith, 1980); Orient
(Dyte, 1975); Australasia and Oceania (Bickel & Dyte, 1989; Bickel,
1992, 1994). Catalogs of fossil dolichopodid flies was published by
Keilbach (1982), Spahr (1985), and Evenhuis (1994). Now they need
synthesis, supplements, and unification. This paper is the first
effort to compile a world database to genera for one of the largest
dipteran family.
An alphabetical list of 359 generic names in the family
Dolichopodidae (Diptera) is compiled. Valid, invalid, and suppressed
names, nomina dubia, nuda et oblita are included. Ten following
authors gave about 200 generic names: Parent (38), Loew (32), Becker
(26), Bigot (27), Bickel (20), Mik (19), Aldrich (15), Robinson (14),
Rondani (12) and Dyte (10).
A few genera from other families [e.g., Musca Linne (Muscidae),
Nemotelus Geoffroy (Stratiomyidae), Scatophaga Meigen (Scatophagidae),
Sciara Meigen (Sciaridae)] temporarily kept some dolichopodid species.
Archichrysotus Negrobov was incorrectly transferred from Empididae
(Spahr, 1985). For references see above-mentioned regional catalogs
and recent volumes of Zoological Record. I would appreciate any
correction and supplement to this list.
