Senogaster is a genus of hoverfly in the family Syrphidae. [4]
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 they're usually found in rotting wood. The adult flies are generally 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. Identification of species has been difficult and identifiction by photographs is risky.
Rutilia is a large genus of medium to large (>20mm) flies in the family Tachinidae native to Australia and the Oriental region, though notably absent from New Zealand. Like the vast majority of tachinid flies, Rutilia species are parasitoids of other insects, specifically Rutilia are known to be parasitoids of late instar larvae of scarab beetles.
Temnostoma is a genus of hoverflies. The larvae of some species feed on the wood of deciduous trees.
Platycheirus is a large genus of hoverflies. They are also called sedgesitters.
Pocota is a genus hoverflies, from the family Syrphidae, in the order Diptera.
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. Milesia are predominantly Palaeotropical in distribution almost entirely Oriental.
Palpada is a genus of 85 neotropical and nearctic flower flies or hoverflies This genus is often colorful and bee-like. It is in the tribe Eristaliini containing dozens of genera Common sister genera include Eristalis (99 species), Meromacrus (43 sp.), Eristalinus (100 sp.) and Helophilus (50 sp.). The genus palpada is distinguished by:
Chalcosyrphus (Xylotomima) piger, the short-haired leafwalker, is an uncommon species of syrphid fly found throughout North America and Europe. 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. Larvae have been identified from sappy hollows from Larix and Pinus.
Chrysogaster cemiteriorum is a European species of hoverfly which can be found feeding on umbelliferous flowers wetlands and damp meadows.
Tropidia nigricornis is a species of hoverfly in the family Syrphidae.
Chalcosyrphus vagans is a species of hoverfly in the family Syrphidae.
Blerina is a subtribe of hoverfly in the family Syrphidae.
Senogaster dentipes is a species of hoverfly in the family Syrphidae.
Sterphus is a genus of hoverflies.
Sterphus chiragra is a species of Hoverfly in the family Syrphidae.
Sterphus latitarsatus is a species of Hoverfly in the family Syrphidae.
Sterphus nigrita is a species of Hoverfly in the family Syrphidae.
Phaeotabanus is a genus of horse flies in the family Tabanidae.
