Amesorhaga is a genus of flies in the family Dolichopodidae. All species in the genus are from the Oriental realm.[1][3]
Species

The genus contains seven species, all originally from Mesorhaga:[1]

Amesorhaga angulata (Parent, 1935)[4] – West Malaysia
Amesorhaga argentifacies (Parent, 1941)[5] – Thailand, West Malaysia
Amesorhaga breviappendiculata (De Meijere, 1916)[2] – Java
Amesorhaga femorata (De Meijere, 1916)[2] – Java
Amesorhaga malayensis (Parent, 1935)[4] – West Malaysia
Amesorhaga mellavana (Hollis, 1964)[6] – Sri Lanka
Amesorhaga pseudolata (Hollis, 1964)[6] – 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.[7]
