Chalcosyrphus
''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 North America is a continent in the Northern Hemisphere and almost entirely within the Western Hemisphere. It is bordered to the north by the Arctic Ocean, to the east by the Atlantic Ocean, to the southeast by South America and the Car ... and seem to prefer damper, boggy habitats. The larvae are saproxylic feeders in rotten wood in these habitats.

Aneriophora
''Aneriophora'' is a little-known genus of hoverflies from South America. It contains only one species, ''Aneriophora aureorufa''.

Cynorhinella
''Cynorhinella'' is a genus of hoverflies from the family Syrphidae, in the order Diptera Flies are insects of the order Diptera, the name being derived from the Greek δι- ''di-'' "two", and πτερόν ''pteron'' "wing". Insects of this order use only a single pair of wings to fly, the hindwings having evolved into advanced .... Curran erected ''Cynorhinella'' for a new species which he named ''canadensis''. He states in the description: "I am unable to place the following specimen in any genus known to me, and it traces out to ''Cynorhina'' in Williston's manual, and apparently comes closest to this genus but the thickened, arcuate hind femora with the projection apically, and the more distinct facial side margins separate it. It is related to ''Chilosia'' and ''Chrysochlamys'' by the last mentioned character, but there is no semblance of bristles and the shape of the abdomen is distinctive."

Milesia Crabroniformis
''Milesia crabroniformis'' is a species of flower flies or hoverflies belonging to the family Syrphidae subfamily Eristalinae. Distribution This species is mainly present in Belgium, France, Greece, Italy, Spain, Portugal, Switzerland, in the Near East and in North Africa. Description The adults of ''Milesia crabroniformis'' grow up to long. These rather uncommon hoverflies are the largest among the European species. They show a yellow face, reddish femurs, a yellow-brown abdomen and its wings are shaded with yellow-orange. Eyes of males are holoptic, although they meet along the dorsal length of the head in a very low point of contact. They mimic the specie ...

Francis Walker (entomologist)
Francis Walker (31 July 1809 – 5 October 1874) was an English entomologist. He was born in Southgate, London, on 31 July 1809 and died at Wanstead, England on 5 October 1874. He was one of the most prolific authors in entomology, and stirred controversy during his later life as his publications resulted in a huge number of junior synonyms. However, his assiduous work on the collections of the British Museum had great significance. Between June 1848 and late 1873 Walker was contracted by John Edward Gray Director of the British Museum to catalogue their insects (except Coleoptera) that is Orthoptera, Neuroptera, Hemiptera, Diptera, Lepidoptera and Hymenoptera. Walker largely accomplished this and (Edwards, 1870) wrote of the plan and by implication those who implemented it “It is to him raythat the Public owe the admirable helps to the study of natural history which have been afforded by the series of inventories, guides, and nomenclatures, the publication of which beg ...
