Alishanimyia es un género de moscas de la familia Dolichopodidae . [1] [3] Contiene solo una especie, Alishanimyia elmohardyi , y se conoce solo de bosques montanos a 2400 m en Taiwán . Alishanimyia probablemente desciende de Chrysotimus , lo que haría que este último género fuera parafilético . [1]
The genus was originally named Alishania by Daniel J. Bickel in 2004, named after Alishan, a locality in Taiwan where all specimens of the species were collected; however, this name was preoccupied by Alishania Vilbaste, 1969, so it was renamed to Alishanimyia by Bickel in 2007.
