Wheelerenomyia is an extinct genus of flies in the family Dolichopodidae, known from the Eocene of the Baltic region. The genus is named after William Morton Wheeler.[2]

Species

The genus contains 15 species. Originally it had only one species, W. eocenica; in 2008, Igor Grichanov moved 14 extinct species from other sciapodine genera (Amesorhaga, Nematoproctus, Psilopus – now Sciapus – and Neurigona) to the genus.[3] All species in the genus have strongly sinuate vein M, and were found from Baltic amber.[3]
