''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. The Larvae are of the short-tailed type, found in decaying heartwood of deciduous trees, including rot-holes.

Charles Henry Tyler Townsend
Charles Henry Tyler Townsend (5 December 1863 – 17 March 1944) was an American entomologist specializing in the study of tachinids (Tachinidae), a large and diverse family of flies (Diptera) with larvae that are parasitoids of other insects. He was perhaps the most prolific publisher of new tachinids, naming and describing some 3000 species and genera. He made important contributions to the biological control of insect pests and he was the first to identify the insect vector of a debilitating disease in Peru. Townsend was also a controversial figure and criticism of his approach to insect taxonomy continues to this day. Biography Townsend was born in Oberlin, Ohio, in 1863. He attended high school in Constantine, Michigan and graduated in 1882. From 1887 to 1891 he studied medicine at Columbian University (now George Washington University) in Washington, D.C.
