The distance from the base of the antennae to the tip of the rostellum is greater than the distance from the antennal base to the commencement of the narrow part of the frons. Median outgrowths of hypandrium and outgrowth of basal segment of gonopodites are absent. Aedeagus with two basal projections at a right angle to the plane of aedeagus. [9] [10] [11]

Brachypalpus oarus, the eastern catkin, is a common species of syrphid fly first officially described by Walker in 1849. Hoverflies get their names from the ability to remain nearly motionless while in flight. The adults are also known as flower flies for they are commonly found around and on flowers, from which they get both energy-giving nectar and protein-rich pollen. The larvae are of the rat-tailed type feeding on decaying sap under tree bark.
