Allobaccha is a genus of hoverfly with a large number of species. It was originally created as a subgenus of Baccha . Many species have an elongated wasp like abdomen and adults as well as larvae are predators of soft-bodied Hemiptera.
Species in the genus include:
 |
Allobaccha picta(Wiedemann, 1830) is a synonym of Copestylum pictum (Wiedemann, 1830).
Hover flies of the genus Microdon are unusual among the Diptera. Like other members of the subfamily, they are myrmecophiles, meaning they inhabit the nests of ants.
Syritta is a genus of hoverflies, family Syrphidae.
Homogenia is a genus of flies in the family Tachinidae.
Belvosia is a genus of flies in the family Tachinidae.
Siphona is a genus of flies in the family Tachinidae.
Eumerus is a genus of hoverflies, within the tribe Eumerini.
Melanostoma is a large genus of hoverflies. Little is known of their biology, but they are suspected to be general predators of small insects in leaf litter.
Chrysosoma is a genus of flies in the family Dolichopodidae. It is a large genus, with more than 200 species distributed in the Old World and Oceania.
Chalcosyrphus is a genus of hoverflies in the subfamily Eristalinae. Many species exhibit some degree of mimicry of various sawflies and other hymenopterans and are often brightly coloured or metallic in hue. The adults are similar in structure and behavior to the related genus Xylota but differ in larval morphology. They can be found throughout Europe, Asia, and North America and seem to prefer damper, boggy habitats. The larvae are saproxylic feeders in rotten wood in these habitats.
Archimicrodon is a genus of hoverflies. Many of the species in this genus were moved from Microdon by Reemer & Ståhls (2013). Previously, it had been described as having three known species.
Spheginobaccha is a genus of hoverflies, with 15 known species. The genus is readily separated from other microdons by the incomplete metathoracic bridge, round/oval basoflagellomere, occiput with a dorsolateral crease, and other characters.
Monoceromyia is a genus of hoverfly. Species in the genus are found in the Afrotropical, Australasian, Neotropical and Oriental regions. They are mimics of wasps and the genus is distinguished by the metapleura being widely separate behind the hind coxae. The elongated frontal base of the antenna is at least as long as the basal segment of the antenna and the second abdominal tergum is longer than wide and constricted.
Milesia is a genus of very large hoverflies, which mimic social wasps. For example, the European species Milesia crabroniformis is a convincing mimic of the hornet species Vespa crabro. Milesia are predominantly Palaeotropical in distribution almost entirely Oriental.
Betasyrphus is a genus of hoverfly.
Citrogramma is a genus of hoverfly.
Graptomyza is a genus of hoverflies.
Archytas is a genus of flies in the family Tachinidae.
Metadon is a genus of hoverfly containing 43 species. Most of the species were originally described in the genus Microdon.
Oxysarcodexia is a genus of flies belonging to the family Sarcophagidae.
