Philopotinae is a subfamily of small-headed flies. They have an arched body shape, as well as enlarged postpronotal lobes that form a collar behind the head. Their larvae are endoparasites of araneomorph spiders in the subgroup Entelegynae.[2]
Genera[edit]
The subfamily includes twelve extant genera and four extinct:[2]
- Africaterphis Schlinger, 1968
- †Archaeterphis Hauser & Winterton, 2007[3]
- Dimacrocolus Schlinger, 1961
- †Eulonchiella Meunier, 1912
- Helle Osten Sacken, 1896[4]
- †Hoffeinsomyia Gillung & Winterton, 2017[5]
- Megalybus Philippi, 1865
- Neophilopota Schlinger in Schlinger, Gillung & Borkent, 2013[6]
- Oligoneura Bigot, 1878
- Parahelle Schlinger, 1961
- Philopota Wiedemann, 1830
- †Prophilopota Hennig, 1966
- Quasi Gillung & Winterton, 2011[7]
