Cheiromyia is a genus of flies in the family Dolichopodidae. It is found in the Neotropical ecozone. 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]
