Palpada
''Palpada'' is a genus of 85 neotropical and nearctic The Nearctic realm is one of the eight biogeographic realms constituting the Earth's land surface. The Nearctic realm covers most of North America, including Greenland, Central Florida, and the highlands of Mexico. The parts of North America t ... 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: *Eyes with uniform pile. *Meron with fine pale hairs in front of or below spiracle. *Hind femur with basal patch of dense black setulae. *Cell r2+3 closed before wing margin. * R4+5 moderately to strongly dipped into cell r4+5. The larvae are aquatic and have a distinctive shape, usually being referred to as rat-tailed. The rat-tail is a breathng tube that allows th ...

Palpada Albifrons
''Palpada albifrons '' (Weidemann 1830), the White-faced Plushback , is a rare species of syrphid fly observed in from Mexico north-eastward along the coastal areas of the United States. 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 Pollen is a powdery substance produced by seed plants. It consists of pollen grains (highly reduced microgametophytes), which produce male gametes (sperm cells). Pollen grains have a hard coat made of sporopollenin that protects the gametophyt .... The larvae are aquatic.

Palpada Agrorum
''Palpada agrorum'', the Double-banded Plushback, is a common species of syrphid fly first officially described by Fabricius in 1787. 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 Pollen is a powdery substance produced by seed plants. It consists of pollen grains (highly reduced microgametophytes), which produce male gametes (sperm cells). Pollen grains have a hard coat made of sporopollenin that protects the gametophyt .... The larvae are aquatic filter feeders of the rat-tailed type.

Eristalini
Eristalini is a tribe of hoverflies. Several species are well-known honeybee mimics, such as the drone fly ''Eristalis tenax'', while other genera such as '' Helophilus'' and '' Parhelophilus'' exhibit wasp-like patterns of yellow and black stripes, both strategies to avoid predation by visual predators such as birds. They breed in decaying organic materials such as run-offs from dung heaps ('' Eristalis'') or in ponds and ditches (e.g. '' Anasimyia''). Some others, such as ''Myathropa'' and '' Mallota'', breed in wet rotting tree stumps and rot holes. A characteristic feature of this tribe is the " rat-tailed maggot" with a rear positioned telescopic breathing tube, allowing the larvae to breathe while living submerged in water or mud. This feature is also shared with another hoverfly tribe the Sericomyiini though those flies do not share the characteristic eristaline dip in wing vein R4+5.
