Keirosoma is a genus of
flies in the family
Dolichopodidae.[1][2] It is distributed in the
New World.[3] The subfamily has variously been placed in the
Rhaphiinae,
Diaphorinae or
Sympycninae. According to Scott E. Brooks in 2005, the systematic position of the genus is still uncertain, though a possible relationship with Pseudohercostomus has been suggested.[4]
