Cheiromyia is a genus of flies in the family Dolichopodidae. It is found in the Neotropical realm. It was originally named Cheirocerus by Octave Parent in 1930, but was renamed to Cheiromyia by C. E. Dyte in 1980 after it was found to be preoccupied by the catfish genus Cheirocerus (Eigenmann, 1917).[1] The antennae of the males bear one or more elongate projections on an enlarged postpedicel, resembling antlers.[3][4] Cheiromyia is closely related to some species of Paraclius.[5]
