Species
At least 16 extant species are described in the genus, with nine from the Palaearctic realm, one from the Oriental realm, and five from the Nearctic realm. Three fossil species have also been described. There are also several undescribed species from the sub-Mediterranean region of Europe and Turkey, and one undescribed species from the Neotropical realm. One species from the Australasian realm, Microphor hiemalis, has also been described, but it does not appear to be cogeneric and may not belong in the subfamily Microphorinae.Microphor anomalus Microphor bilineatus Microphor crassipes Macquart, 1827Microphor defunctus Handlirsch, 1910 – Allenby Formation, Canada, YpresianMicrophor discalis Melander, 1940Microphor eocenica – Baltic amber, EoceneMicrophor gissaricus Shamshev, 1992Microphor hiemalis White, 1916Microphor holosericeus Microphor intermedius Collin, 1961Microphor obscurus Coquillett, 1903Microphor pilimanus Strobl, 1899Microphor rostellatus Loew, 1864Microphor rusticus – Baltic amber, EoceneMicrophor sinensis Saigusa & Yang, 2003Microphor skevingtoni Brooks & Cumming, 2022Microphor strobli Chvála, 1986Microphor turneri Brooks & Cumming, 2022Microphor zimini Shamshev, 1995Species transferred to Schistostoma:Microphor armipes Melander, 1928Microphor atratus Coquillett, 1900Microphor cirripes Melander, 1940Microphor evisceratus Melander, 1940Microphor isommatus Melander, 1928Microphor ravidus Coquillett, 1895Microphor ravus Melander, 1940: synonym of Schistostoma evisceratum Microphor robustus Melander, 1928Microphor strigilifer Melander, 1940Microphor sycophantor Microphor tacomae Melander, 1940
