Nurteria is a genus of flies in the family Dolichopodidae, found in the Afrotropical realm.

[4][5] The genus was originally described by Octave Parent in 1934 with the name Turneria, including two species.

Dyte & Smith (1980) found that the name of the genus was preoccupied by the ant genus Turneria, and so they renamed it to Nurteria, designating one of Parent's originally included species as the type.

According to Neal Evenhuis in 2008, the original use of the name Turneria by Parent (1934) is a nomen nudum, because no type species was designated for the genus.
