Olegonegrobovia is a genus of flies in the family Dolichopodidae, known from Africa. It was first established in 1995 by Igor Grichanov, who named it after the Russian entomologist Oleg Negrobov.[1] It was synonymised with Teuchophorus by Meuffels & Grootaert in 2004,[2] but is considered a separate genus by Grichanov & Mostovski (2008).[3] A molecular phylogenetic analysis from 2010 found support for the synonymy of Olegonegrobovia with Teuchophorus.[4]
