Diagnosis
The species in the genus
Hydropeza
resemble those of
Dipsomyia
by lacking the stout setae on the postgena, and the fore trochanter that is present in species in the genera
Ragas
and
Zanclotus
. Species in
Hydropeza
are distinguished from those in
Dipsomyia
by having pubescent eyes, a bare laterotergite, and a prosternum that is fused with the proepisternum and forming a precoxal bridge.
