Lyroneurus

Lyroneurus is a genus of flies in the family Dolichopodidae. It includes 17 species distributed in the Neotropical realm. It was formerly treated as a subgenus of Diaphorus; more recently Lyroneurus has been treated as a synonym of Chrysotus,^[2][3] but Capellari & Amorim (2010) maintains it as a distinct genus noting that Chrysotus is possibly paraphyletic.^[4]
