Achradocera
Introduction '''''Achradocera''''' is a genus of flies in the family Dolichopodidae. It is distributed in the Nearctic and Neotropical realms as well as in Polynesia. Several Afrotropical species were also placed in the genus, but in 2018 they were transferred to ''Chrysotus''. ''Achradocera'' was formerly considered a subgenus of ''Chrysotus'', but was restored as a separate genus by Harold E. Robinson (1975).
