Medetera
Introduction '''''Medetera''''' is a large genus of flies in the family Dolichopodidae. It includes about 350 species worldwide. The adults are commonly found resting on vertical surfaces such as tree trunks, on which they have a characteristic vertical upright stance. Because of this stance, they are sometimes known as "woodpecker flies". ''Medetera'' adults are predators of soft-bodied arthropods, while the larvae are predators of bark beetle larvae.A 2011 molecular phylogenetic analysis of ''Medetera'' and related genera found that ''Medetera'' is paraphyletic with respect to ''Dolichophorus'', and that ''Thrypticus'' is a sister taxon to ''Medetera'' + ''Dolichophorus''.
Species Taxonomy follows Bickel (1985, 1987), though some of the species groups are treated as separate genera by other authors. * ''nova'' species group:** ''Medetera dominicensis'' Robinson, 1975**
