Microphorinae is a subfamily of flies in the family Dolichopodidae. It is part of an expanded concept of the family, Dolichopodidae sensu lato, though it was previously considered a subfamily of Empididae or a family of its own.^[1]

Genera

The subfamily includes seven genera, two extant and five extinct:^[2]

†Avenaphora Grimaldi & Cumming, 1999^[3] – Early Cretaceous
†Curvus Kaddumi, 2005 – Jordanian amber, Albian
†Meghyperiella Meunier, 1908 – Baltic amber and Rovno amber, Eocene
Microphor Macquart, 1827
†Microphorites Hennig, 1971 – Early Cretaceous-Eocene
†Pristinmicrophor Tang, Shi, Wang & Yang, 2019^[4] – Burmese amber, Myanmar, Cenomanian
Schistostoma Becker, 1902
