Homalocnemis

Homalocnemis is a genus of flies which is placed in a family of its own, the Homalocnemidae. There are about seven species in the genus found in the Afrotropical, Neotropical, and Australasian regions, suggestive of a Gondwanan origin. The genus was formerly considered a primitive empidoid and placed variously in the Hybotidae or in the empidid subfamily Brachystomatinae. They are recognized by their wing venation which includes a long anal cell and a long basal segment of the antennal style.

Species in the genus include:
 * New Zealand
 * H. adelensis (Miller, 1913)
 * H. inexpleta Collin, 1928
 * H. perspicua (Hutton, 1901)
 * H. maculipennis Malloch, 1932
 * Namibia
 * H. namibiensis Chvála, 1991
