Falbouria is a genus of flies in the family Dolichopodidae.[4] It contains only one species, Falbouria acorensis, which is endemic to the Azores. The genus was originally named Balfouria by Octave Parent in 1933; it was renamed to Falbouria by C. E. Dyte in 1980, after the name Balfouria was found to be preoccupied by the snail genus Balfouria Crosse, 1884.[3]
