Ocyptamus Iona
''Ocyptamus'' is a large and diverse genus of over 200 species of hoverfly mostly found in the Neotropical region. It is likely that many of these species will be discovered to be synonym (taxonomy), synonyms though many others await description. Classification There is evidence that the genus is not monophyletic and is paraphyletic with regard to ''Eosalpingogaster'' and ''Toxomerus'', and some subgenera have been given full generic status (''Hybobathus'', ''Pelecinobaccha'', ''Orphnabaccha'', and ''Pseudoscaeva''). Selected Species Subgenus: ''Ocyptamus'' Pierre-Justin-Marie Macquart, Macquart, 1834 *''Ocyptamus antiphates, O. antiphates'' (Francis Walker (entomologist), Walker, 1849) *''Ocyptamus calla, O. calla'' (Charles Howard Curran, Curran, 1941) *''Ocyptamus cylindricus, O. cylindricus'' (Johan Christian Fabricius, Fabricius, 1781) *''Ocyptamus dimidiatus, O. dimidiatus'' (Johan Christian Fabricius, Fabricius, 1781) *''Ocyptamus fasciatus, O. fasciatus'' Roeder, 1885 *' ...
