Dolichopodids, commonly called long-legged flies, are found worldwide and consist of over 5,000 species in some 150 genera. Adults and most larvae are predaceous on other insects and small invertebrates. Adults of extant forms inhabit moist, cool, sylvan habitats near water sources where they can be found resting on tree trunks, vegetation, or skating on the water surface in pursuit of prey items. Larvae are found in rotting vegetation, wet soil, and under bark where they are scavengers or predators.
The Dolichopodidae are well represented in the fossil record, especially
as amber inclusions. Although only Baltic amber material of this family has been
described to any extent, the family is present in most other faunas as well
(Spahr, 1985). Many adults of this family are tree associates and patrol up and
down trunks in search of both mates and food. Hence, they are especially
susceptible to being entrapped in tree resins and fossilized in amber. Modern
trunk-associated dolichopodids include: most Medeterinae (especially
Medetera Fischer von Waldheim and Systenus Loew), all
Neurigoninae, Achalcus Loew, many Sciapodinae (especially Sciapus
Zeller s. str.), and some Diaphorinae. All of these taxa also occur in Baltic
amber.
As seen in Baltic amber faunas generally (Larsson, 1978), most recent
insect families had radiated by the Early Tertiary. This is the case with the
Dolichopodidae, and genera appear well defined and essentially modern at that
time. However, the Baltic amber fauna described by Meunier is badly in need of
revision, especially in light of large unworked collections of fossils in many
institutions. Particular attention must be paid to Meunier's generic concepts
and species placements.
In addition to the determined material listed below, undetermined
material of this family has been recorded from the Upper Cretaceous ambers of
Canada (McAlpine & Martin, 1969: 837) and Siberia (Zherichin &
Sukacheva, 1973: 18, 37), the Oligocene/Miocene amber of the Dominican Republic,
and Miocene amber of Chiapas, Mexico (Poinar, 1992), the Lower Miocene deposits
of Sado Island, Japan (Fujiyama, 1985: 43), the Miocene Bitterfeld amber of
Germany (Schumann & Wendt, 1989), and the Eocene/Oligocene deposits of the
Bembridge Marls on the Isle of Wight (Jarzembowski, 1976: 12).
