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:[1]
- New Zealand
- H. adelensis (Miller, 1913)
- H. inexpleta Collin, 1928
- H. perspicua (Hutton, 1901)
- H. maculipennis Malloch, 1932
- Namibia
- H. namibiensis Chvála, 1991[2]
- Chile
- H. praesumpta Collin, 1928
- H. nigripennis Philippi, 1865
