Australachalcus

Australachalcus is a genus of flies in the family Dolichopodidae. It is very closely related to the genus Achalcus, in which some of its species were originally placed. The name Australachalcus ("southern Achalcus") refers to the southern hemisphere, where the genus reaches its highest levels of species richness.[1]
