Criorhina villosa is a species of hoverfly in the family Syrphidae, formerly placed into its own genus, Merapioidus. [2] Its name has been confused with the name of a related species from Mexico, which was originally described as Romaleosyrphus villosus, and published in 1882; [3] as the two species are now both placed in the same genus, Criorhina , only the older of the two names (the one from 1879) can remain as Criorhina villosa, and the 1882 name will need to be replaced.
