Dolichopus is a large cosmopolitan genus of flies in the family Dolichopodidae. Adults are small flies, typically less than 8 mm in length. Nearly all species are metallic greenish-blue to greenish-bronze.{{cite book|author=D'Assis Fonseca, E.C.M.|year=1978|title=Dolichopodidae (Diptera, Orthorrhapha, Brachycera) (Handbooks for the Identification of British Insects 9/5)|pages=90 pp|publisher=Royal Entomological Society of London|url=http://www.royensoc.co.uk/sites/default/files/old_res_handbooks/Vol09_Part05.pdf|access-date=8 July 2015|location=London|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120513113613/http://www.royensoc.co.uk/sites/default/files/old_res_handbooks/Vol09_Part05.pdf|archive-date=13 May 2012|url-status=dead}} It is the largest genus of Dolichopodidae with more than 600 species worldwide.{{cite book|last1=Yang|first1=D.|last2=Zhu|first2=Y.|last3=Wang|first3=M.|last4=Zhang|first4=L.|title=World Catalog of Dolichopodidae (Insecta: Diptera).|date=2006|publisher=China Agricultural University Press|location=Beijing|isbn=9787811171020|pages=1–704}}
