Nanomyina is a genus of long-legged flies in the family Dolichopodidae. There is only one described species in Nanomyina, Nanomyina barbata.[3][4][1][5]
Nanomyina barbata is found on the east coast of North and Central America. The name "barbata", meaning "bearded", refers to the bristles across the lower face of the fly.[4][3]
John Merton Aldrich first described this species as Chrysotimus barbata in 1902.[1] In 1964, Harold E. Robinson created the genus Nanomyina. This genus contained only Nanomyina litorea, described by Robinson in the same publication.[2] In 1970, Robinson determined Nanomyina litorea to be a synonym of Chrysotimus barbata, at the same time moving C. barbata to Nanomyina, leaving C. barbata as the only species in the genus.[3]
