Corindia is a genus of flies in the family Dolichopodidae. It is known mainly from the Afrotropical and Australasian realms, with a single species from the Palaearctic realm and an undescribed species also known from the Neotropical realm. The genus was first described in 1986 by Daniel J. Bickel, who originally considered it to be the sister group of the genus Thrypticus. Bickel later suggested that Corindia may represent a plesiomorphic and paraphlyetic assemblage from which Thrypticus arose.[2]
In Australia, adults of the genus are often found on smooth-barked eucalypt trees, and display a stance similar to that of Medetera. The genus is named after Corindi, a geographical place name of aboriginal origin on the New South Wales northern coast.[1]
