Philoliche is a genus of long-tongued horse-flies found in the Old World. It is placed in the tribe Philolichini.[7] The clade is thought to have originated about 40 million years ago and the 120 or more species are thought to have originated in Africa and expanded into Asia. The plants that they pollinate tend to have elongate corolla tubes.[8]
