Rohdendorfia is a genus of hoverflies. [1] [2]

Syritta is a genus of hoverflies, family Syrphidae.
Xylota is a Holarctic genus of hoverflies similar in structure to the related genera Chalcosyrphus and Brachypalpoides. As the larvae are saprophytic in rotting wood the adult flies are generally found associated with woodland and woodland edges and can often be seen running over the upper sides of leaves. Unlike other syrphids the adults of many species rarely visit flowers preferring instead to gather pollen from leaf surfaces. There are over 100 described species of which 12 can be found in Europe. Seven species have been recorded in Britain.
Spilomyia is a genus of hoverflies. Many species in the genus show Batesian mimicry of wasp models, including black and yellow patterns and modified antenna shape.
Platycheirus is a large genus of hoverflies. They are also called sedgesitters.
Allograpta is a very large and diverse genus of hoverflies present throughout the world except most of the palearctic region. The adults are brightly coloured flower pollinators and most larvae have a predatory feeding mode involving soft-bodied sternorrhynchans. Certain species have diverged from this and their larvae have been found to be leaf-miners, stem-borers or pollen-feeders.
Criorhina is a genus of hoverflies.
Blera is a genus of hoverflies. It is primarily a North American genus, though there are 3 species from Europe.
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, North America and South America and seem to prefer damper, boggy habitats. The larvae are saproxylic feeders in rotten wood in these habitats.
Sphegina is a genus of small, slender hoverflies associated with woodlands. They are widespread throughout Eurasia and North America.
Doros is a genus of hoverflies. They are large slender flies, that mimic solitary wasp in slow flight. They have very limited flight period.
Myolepta is a cosmopolitan genus of hoverflies most closely related to the genus Lepidomyia
Neoascia is a genus of hoverflies.
Anasimyia is a genus of wetland hoverflies with aquatic larvae. The genus is often regarded as a subgenus of the similar Lejops.
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.
Mixogaster is a genus of hoverflies native to North America and South America, with 21 known species. Mixogaster is distinct by lacking an appendix on vein R4+5, having a reduced and bare metasternum, an unarmed scutellum, and usually an appendix on vein M extending in cell R4+5. Larvae are found in ant nests.
The Milesiini is a large and diverse tribe of hoverflies. They mimic wasps or hornets.
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.
Pyrophaena is a subgenus of the hoverfly genus Platycheirus distinctive enough to sometimes treated as a separate genus in its own right. Indeed a recent study of the phylogeny of the subfamily Syrphinae found it to be closer to other certain other genera – Rohdendorfia, Syrphocheilosia and Spazigaster. Since only a few species were sampled the true systematic structure must await a more thorough survey of Platycheirus and related genera.
Cynorhinella is a genus of hoverflies from the family Syrphidae, in the order Diptera.
