Kowmungia
Introduction '''''Kowmungia''''' is a genus of flies in the family Dolichopodidae. It is known from Australia.The genus was originally regarded as ''incertae sedis'' within the family Dolichopodidae, as it did not fit into any previously described subfamily. In the ''World Catalog of Dolichopodidae (Insecta: Diptera)'' by Yang ''et al.'' (2006), the new subfamily Kowmunginae was proposed to include both ''Kowmungia'' and ''Phacaspis''. This placement was later criticized by Sinclair ''et al.'' (2008), who suggested that the genus would have been better placed as ''incertae sedis'' until a later phylogenetic study determines its placement.
Species The genus contains four species:* ''Kowmungia angustifrons'' Bickel, 1987* ''Kowmungia crassitarsus'' Bickel, 1987* ''Kowmungia flaviseta'' Bickel, 1987* ''Kowmungia nigrifemorata'' Bickel, 1987
