Nanomyina
Introduction '''''Nanomyina''''' is a genus of long-legged flies in the family Dolichopodidae. There is only one described species in ''Nanomyina'', '''''Nanomyina barbata'''''. ''Nanomyina barbata'' is found on the east coast of North and Central America. The name "barbata", meaning "bearded", refers to the bristles across the lower face of the fly.John Merton Aldrich first described this species as ''Chrysotimus barbata'' in 1902.In 1964, Harold E. Robinson created the genus ''Nanomyina''. This genus contained only ''Nanomyina litorea'', described by Robinson in the same publication. In 1970, Robinson determined ''Nanomyina litorea'' to be a synonym of ''Chrysotimus barbata'', at the same time moving ''C. barbata'' to ''Nanomyina'', leaving ''C. barbata'' as the only species in the genus.
