Lichtwardtia is a genus of flies in the family Dolichopodidae.{{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}} It is known from the Afrotropical, Oriental and Australasian realms. It can be recognised by its zigzag-shaped M vein on the wings, and its feather-like hairs on the apex segment of the antennae. In a phylogenetic analysis of the subfamily Dolichopodinae by Scott E. Brooks in 2005, Lichtwardtia is considered to be a synonym of Dolichopus,{{cite journal|first=Scott E.|last=Brooks|year=2005|title=Systematics and phylogeny of Dolichopodinae (Diptera: Dolichopodidae)|url=http://www.mapress.com/zootaxa/2005f/z00857f.pdf|journal=Zootaxa|volume=857|pages=1–158|doi=10.11646/zootaxa.857.1.1}} but subsequent authors have retained it as a valid genus.{{cite journal|first1=O.V.|last1=Selivanova|first2=O.P.|last2=Negrobov|first3=D.|last3=Yang|year=2010|title=Redescription of the holotype of Lichtwardtia formosana (Diptera: Dolichopodidae), with new data on its synonymy|url=https://www.zin.ru/journals/zsr/content/2010/zr_2010_19_1_Selivanova.pdf|journal=Zoosystematica Rossica|volume=19|issue=1|pages=143–146|doi=10.31610/zsr/2010.19.1.143 }}{{cite journal|first1=C.|last1=Tang|first2=D.|last2=Yang|first3=P.|last3=Grootaert|year=2018|title=Revision of the genus Lichtwardtia Enderlein in Southeast Asia, a tale of highly diverse male terminalia (Diptera, Dolichopodidae)|journal=ZooKeys|issue=798|pages=63–107|doi=10.3897/zookeys.798.28107|pmc=6262061|pmid=30510466 |doi-access=free }}
