List Of Flower Flies Of New Zealand
The following is a list of hoverfly (Syrphidae) species recorded in New Zealand. This list is based on a list of New Zealand hoverfly, flower flies published by F. Christian Thompson in 2008. Currently the list consists of 37 endemism, endemic species, 1 native Oceanian species, and 5 introduced species, introduced invasive species. Beyond this there are another 48 endemic species awaiting formal description.

Hoverfly
Hover flies, also called flower flies or syrphid flies, 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, eating decaying plant and animal matter in the soil or in ponds and streams. In other species, the larvae are insectivores and prey on aphids, thrips, and other plant-sucking insects. Insects such as aphids are considered a crop pest, and therefore the aphid-eating larvae of some hover flies serve as an economically (as well as ecologically) important predator and even potential agents for use in biological control, while the adults may be pollinators. About 6,000 species in 200 genera have been described. Hover flies are common throughout the world and can be found on all continents except Antarctica. Hover flies are harmless to most mammals, ...

Allograpta Flavofaciens
''Allograpta '' is a very large and diverse genus of hoverflies present throughout the world except most of the palearctic region. The adults are brightly coloured flower pollinators and most larvae have a predatory feeding mode involving soft-bodied sternorrhynchans. Certain species have diverged from this and their larvae have been found to be leaf-miners, stem-borers or pollen-feeders. ''Allograpta'' is currently being studied using both molecular and morphological methods to produce a robust phylogeny of the genus and its related genera. Preliminary studies show the genus to be monophyletic with the genera ''Sphaerophoria'' and ''Exallandra'' placed within which obviously complicates matters. A more complete review is needed before any major taxonomic changes can occur i.e. splitting the genus up or incorporating related genera, though the former subgenus ''Fazia'' was elevated to genus in 2020.Ximo Mengual, Gunilla Ståhls & Jeffrey H.
