Syrphid Fly
Hoverflies, also called flower flies or syrphids, make up the insect family Syrphidae. As their common name suggests, they are often seen hovering or nectaring at flowers; the adults of many species feed mainly on nectar and pollen, while the larvae (maggots) eat a wide range of foods. In some species, the larvae are saprotrophs, specifically detritivores, eating decaying plant and animal matter in the soil or in ponds and streams. In other species, the larvae are insectivores, preying on aphids, thrips, and other plant-sucking insects. Insects such as aphids are considered crop pests, so the aphid-eating larvae of some hoverflies are economically and ecologically important. The larvae are potential agents for use in biological control, while the adults are pollinators. About 6,000 species in 200 genera have been described. Hoverflies are common throughout the world and can be found on all continents except Antarctica. Hoverflies are harmless to most mammals, though many specie ...

Syrphini
The Syrphini are a tribe (biology), tribe of Hoverfly, hoverflies. List of genera Relationships within this tribe were investigated by analysing and comparing genetic data. Results seem to show the members of Syrphini fall into several smaller groups or clades. *''Afrosyrphus'' Charles Howard Curran, Curran, 1927 *''Agnisyrphus'' Ghorpade, 1994 *''Allobacha'' Charles Howard Curran, Curran, 1928 *''Allograpta'' Carl Robert Osten-Sacken, Osten Sacken, 1875.
