Wheelerenomyia

Wheelerenomyia is an extinct genus of flies in the family Dolichopodidae that lived during the Eocene of the Baltic region.

Within the family Dolichopodidae, Wheelerenomyia is considered to be a member of the subfamily Sciapodinae, but its wing vein M is unbranched and strongly curved so it is considered closely related to members of the tribe Mesorhagini.

[2] The genus was first described in 1907 by Fernand Meunier, who named it after William Morton Wheeler.
