Nanothinophilus is a genus of flies in the family Dolichopodidae.[2] It includes four species, all found in mangroves along the Andaman Sea coast in Thailand. It is closely related to the genera Thinophilus and Paralleloneurum.[1] In several studies, the genus Thinophilus was suggested to be paraphyletic with respect to Nanothinophilus.[3][4]
