Neorhynchocephalus is a genus of tangle-veined flies in the family Nemestrinidae. There are about eight described species in Neorhynchocephalus. [1] [2] [3]
These eight species belong to the genus Neorhynchocephalus:
Eristalis is a large genus of hoverflies, family Syrphidae, in the order Diptera. Several species are known as drone flies because they bear a resemblance to honeybee drones. Drone flies and their relatives are fairly common generalist pollinators, the larvae of which are aquatic, and breathe through a long, snorkel-like appendage, hence the common name rat-tailed maggots.
Zodion is a large genus of flies from the family Conopidae.
Blera is a genus of hoverflies. It is primarily a North American genus, though there are 3 species from Europe.
Lejops is a genus of hoverflies. The majority of the species are found in the Americas and Australia, with the exception of Lejops vittatus which is found in Europe and Asia.
Chymophila is a subgenus of the hoverfly genus Microdon. It was previously considered to be exclusively Neotropical, but is now also known from the Nearctic and Oriental realms, and one species is known from Japan. Chymophila was based on a composite type species: the holotype is a body of C. fulgens with the head of a conopid glued on.
Ocyptamus is a large and diverse genus of over 200 species of hoverfly mostly found in the Neotropical region. It is likely that many of these species will be discovered to be synonyms though many others await description.
Physoconops is a genus of thick-headed flies in the family Conopidae. There are about 13 described species in Physoconops.
Neorhynchocephalus volaticus, the tangle-vein fly, is a species of tangle-veined fly in the family Nemestrinidae.
Chrysanthrax is a genus of bee flies in the family Bombyliidae. There are more than 50 described species in Chrysanthrax.
Hedriodiscus is a genus of soldier flies in the family Stratiomyidae. There are more than 20 described species in Hedriodiscus.
Xylophagus is a genus of flies in the family Xylophagidae. There are more than 30 described species in Xylophagus.
Stonyx is a genus of bee flies, insects in the family Bombyliidae. There are about five described species in Stonyx.
Poecilominettia is a genus of flies in the family Lauxaniidae. There are more than 60 described species in Poecilominettia.
Neorhynchocephalus sackenii is a species of tangle-veined fly in the family Nemestrinidae.
Mydas is a genus of mydas flies in the family Mydidae. There are at least 60 described species in Mydas.
Dolichomyia is a genus of bee flies in the family Bombyliidae. There are about seven described species in Dolichomyia.
Poeciloderas is a genus of horse flies in the family Tabanidae. There are about eight described species in Poeciloderas.
Sphecomyia is a genus of syrphid flies in the family Syrphidae. There are about nine described species in Sphecomyia.
Camptoprosopella is a genus of flies in the family Lauxaniidae. There are more than 30 described species in Camptoprosopella.
Hybobathus is a genus of hoverfly in the Neotropical region, formerly included in the genus Ocyptamus, which was split after researchers determined it was not monophyletic.
