Micropygus Parent, 1933 | |
Micropygus is a genus of flies in the family Dolichopodidae. It is native to New Zealand, though the species Micropygus vagans is also found in the British Isles as an introduced species.[3] The genus was originally named by Octave Parent in 1933. However, as the genus was not designated a type species, this name was unavailable until 1989, when Daniel J. Bickel and C. E. Dyte designated Micropygus bifenestratus as the type species.[1]
