Allohercostomus is a genus of flies in the family Dolichopodidae.[3][4] The generic name is a combination of the Greek prefix allo- with the generic name Hercostomus.[1] In Brooks (2005)'s phylogenetic analysis of the subfamily Dolichopodinae, Allohercostomus was hypothesized to be the most basal member of the subfamily based on a triangular depression present on the scutum in front of the scutellum, a plesiomorphy lost in other members of the subfamily.[3]
