Corindia
Introduction '''''Corindia''''' is a genus of flies in the family Dolichopodidae. It is known from the Afrotropical and Australasian realms, and an undescribed species is also known from the Neotropical realm. The genus was first described in 1986 by Daniel J. Bickel, who originally considered it to be the sister group of the genus ''Thrypticus''. Bickel later suggested that ''Corindia'' may represent a plesiomorphic and paraphlyetic assemblage from which ''Thrypticus'' arose.In Australia, adults of the genus are often found on smooth-barked eucalypt trees, and display a stance similar to that of ''Medetera''. The genus is named after Corindi, a geographical place name of aboriginal origin on the New South Wales northern coast.
