Phoomyia Naglis & Grootaert gen. nov. is described to include two new species of beach-dwelling dolichopodine flies from coastal Sri Lanka and Thailand: Phoontyia srilankensis Naglis & Brooks sp. nov. and Phoomnyia thailandensis Naglis & Grootaert sp. nov. The new genus is closely related to the genera Argyrochlamys Lamb and Pseudargyrochlamys Grichanov, and is distinguished based on characters of the hind leg, and features of the male and female terminalia. Adults of Phoomyia are found on sandy coastal beaches often near the burrows of ghost crabs.
新属Phoomyia Naglis & Grootaert被描述，其中包括来自斯里兰卡沿海和泰国的两种栖息于海滩的长足虻科蝇类新物种：斯里兰卡Phoontyia srilankensis Naglis & Brooks新种和泰国Phoomnyia thailandensis Naglis & Grootaert新种。该新属与Argyrochlamys Lamb属和Pseudargyrochlamys Grichanov属密切相关，并根据后腿特征以及雄性和雌性尾器特征加以区分。Phoomyia成虫常见于沙质海岸海滩，通常靠近幽灵蟹的洞穴。
