Some authors treat the genus Ibisia as a recent synonym of the genus Atherix, but the BioSystematic Database of World Diptera (BDWD) does not mention either Atherix marginata or Ibisia marginata. It mentions two other Palaearctic species attributed to this genus, Ibisia amicorum Thomas, 1985 reported in Morocco, and Ibisia vaillanti Thomas, 1982 reported in France.[1]

Species
  • Ibisia amicorum Thomas, 1985
  • Ibisia apfelbecki (Strobl, 1902)
  • Ibisia dispar (Bezzi, 1909)
  • Ibisia marginata (Fabricius, 1781)
  • Ibisia vaillanti Thomas, 1982
  • Ibisia vicina (Szilády, 1943)
