Falbouria is a genus of flies in the family Dolichopodidae, endemic to the Azores.[3] It contains only one species, Falbouria acorensis. It was originally named Balfouria by Octave Parent in 1933; it was renamed to Falbouria by C. E. Dyte in 1980 after the name Balfouria was found to be preoccupied by the snail genus Balfouria (Crosse, 1884).[2]
Systematic position
The genus Falbouria was placed in the tribe Argyrini by Maslova and Negrobov (1996). Later, on re-describing the type species of the genus, Capellari and Amorim (2012) found the genus shares some features with Achradocera, Chrysotus, and Lyroneurus, so they place it in Diaphorini instead. Falbouria is placed close to Chrysotus by these authors, but is kept as a separate genus rather than becoming a synonym of Chrysotus (which is itself paraphyletic).[4]
