Hercostomus is a genus of flies in the family Dolichopodidae. It is a large genus, containing more than 483 species worldwide. Multiple studies have shown that Hercostomus is a polyphyletic assemblage of species.

Species groups

The genus currently includes the following species groups, at least 25 of which are known from China:

The Palearctic species of Hercostomus are traditionally separated into five numbered groups, based on the coloration of the femora, postocular setae and antennae:

In 1999, Igor Grichanov divided the Afrotropical species of Hercostomus into three numbered groups. Two of these have since been separated into their own genera:
