Neurigona quadrifasciata, copyright Nikolai Vladimirov.

Belongs within: Dolichopodidae.

The Neurigoninae are a group of dolichopodid flies with a densely tomentose face and a distinct flexion or depression in vein M of the wing (Bickel 2009).

Characters (from Bickel 2009): Flagellomere 1 slightly compressed laterally; arista-like stylus dorsal or subapical; face with dense tomentosity; vein M beyond dm-cu crossvein with flexion or depression (bosse alaire) in membrane; male abdominal segments 4 and/or 5 sometimes with ventral modifications; male genitalic capsule usually globular, on peduncle formed by short bare segment 7, sometimes enfolded by preceding abdominal segments, rarely exserted.
