Amesorhaga is a genus of flies in the family Dolichopodidae. All species in the genus are from the Oriental realm.
Species The genus contains seven species, all originally from Mesorhaga: Amesorhaga angulata (Parent, 1935) – West Malaysia Amesorhaga argentifacies (Parent, 1941) – Thailand, West Malaysia Amesorhaga breviappendiculata (De Meijere, 1916) – Java Amesorhaga femorata (De Meijere, 1916) – Java Amesorhaga malayensis (Parent, 1935) – West Malaysia Amesorhaga mellavana (Hollis, 1964) – Sri Lanka Amesorhaga pseudolata (Hollis, 1964) – Sri Lanka
Four further species of Amesorhaga, all extinct, were described from Baltic amber by Negrobov and Selivanova in 2003: A. bickeli, A. longicerca, A. quadrispinosa and A. vladimiri. These have since been moved to the extinct genus Wheelerenomyia by Igor Grichanov in 2008.
