Thambemyia is a genus of flies in the family Dolichopodidae.[2] It known from the Oriental and Neotropical realms, with a single Palearctic species from Japan. Members of the genus live exclusively in the intertidal zone of rocky shores. Conchopus is sometimes considered a synonym of Thambemyia, but the former is considered a valid genus by some authors.[3]
