Micropygus
Introduction '''''Micropygus''''' is a genus of flies in the family Dolichopodidae. It is native to New Zealand, though the species ''Micropygus vagans'' is also found in the British Isles as an introduced species. The genus was originally named by Octave Parent in 1933.However, as the genus was not designated a type species, this name was unavailable until 1989, when Daniel J. Bickel and C. E. Dyte designated ''Micropygus bifenestratus'' as the type species.
