<i>Microdon</i> Genus of flies

Hover flies of the genus Microdon are unusual among the Diptera. Like other members of the subfamily, they are myrmecophiles, meaning they inhabit the nests of ants.

<i>Syritta</i> Genus of hoverflies

Syritta is a genus of hoverflies, family Syrphidae.

<i>Xylota</i> Genus of flies

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.

Sphaeniscus sexmaculatus is a species of tephritid or fruit flies in the genus Sphaeniscus of the family Tephritidae.

<i>Temnostoma</i> Genus of flies

Temnostoma is a genus of hoverflies. The larvae of some species feed on the wood of deciduous trees.

<i>Criorhina</i> Genus of flies

Criorhina is a genus of hoverflies. Medium to large sized species, black or greenish black, with or without light ground markings mimicking bumblebees. The head is much flattened and broader than the thorax. The antennae are situated upon a prominent conical frontal process, The face is moderately produced below the eyes, downward or forward, in profile. The eyes are bare. The abdomen is elliptical or very short oval. Larvae found in rot holes or decaying hardwoods

<i>Blera</i> (fly) Genus of flies

Blera is primarily a North American genus, though there are 3 species from Europe. The genus is characterized by the following characters:

<i>Chalcosyrphus</i> Genus of flies

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, and North America and seem to prefer damper, boggy habitats. The larvae are saproxylic feeders in rotten wood in these habitats.

<i>Pocota</i> Genus of flies

Pocota is a genus hoverflies, from the family Syrphidae, in the order Diptera.

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Milesiini</span> Tribe of flies

The Milesiini is a large and diverse tribe of hoverflies. They mimic wasps or hornets.

<i>Graptomyza</i> Genus of flies

Graptomyza is a genus of hoverflies.

Neoascia metallica, the Double-banded Fen Fly, is a common species of syrphid fly observed across North America. Hoverflies can remain nearly motionless in flight. The adults are also known as flower flies, for they are commonly found on flowers, from which they get both energy-giving nectar and protein-rich pollen. The larvae are aquatic.

<i>Syritta flaviventris</i> Species of fly

Syritta flaviventris is a species of syrphid fly in the family Syrphidae.

<i>Chalcosyrphus piger</i> Species of fly

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.

Sphicosa is a genus of flies in the family Empididae.

Tropidia flavipicta is a species of hoverfly in the family Syrphidae.

Tropidia nigricornis is a species of hoverfly in the family Syrphidae.

Chalcosyrphus vagans is a species of hoverfly in the family Syrphidae.

Neoascia distincta is a species of Hoverfly in the family Syrphidae.

Sphegina albipes is a species of hoverfly in the family Syrphidae.
