Genus of flies
Corindia is a genus of
flies in the family
Dolichopodidae . It is known mainly from the
Afrotropical and
Australasian realms, with a single species from the
Palaearctic realm and an undescribed species also known from the
Neotropical realm . The genus was first described in 1986 by Daniel J. Bickel, who originally considered it to be the
sister group of the genus
Thrypticus . Bickel later suggested that Corindia may represent a
plesiomorphic and
paraphlyetic assemblage from which Thrypticus arose.
[2]
In Australia, adults of the genus are often found on smooth-barked
eucalypt trees, and display a stance similar to that of
Medetera . The genus is named after
Corindi , a geographical place name of aboriginal origin on the
New South Wales northern coast.
