Sericomyia

	Sericomyia Sercomyia are large flies with species that are bee mimics both short pile and long pile. Sericomyiine flower flies are common in boreal forests across the Holarctic region and southward at higher elevations into the Oriental and Neotropical regions. Sericomyia species have larvae of the rat-tailed maggot type, often found in ponds rich in decomposing vegetation where they filter out microorganisms as their food Description Sericomyia head, plumose arista They have an oval flagellum with a plumose arista. The eye are bare and narrowly to broadly holoptic in male. The wings are darkly colored along the anterior margin. Cell r1 is open. The stigmatic crossvein is absent.

	Sericomyia Carolinensis ''Sericomyia carolinensis'' (also called the Two-spotted Pond Fly), is a rare species in the family Syrphidae, found in the Southeastern part of the United States. It is distinguished by its all yellow face, single pair of small narrow yellow spots, and yellow pilose scutellum. Adults noted feeding on pear blossoms. The larval stage is unknown but is likely a "rat tailed" type larvae inhabiting nutrient rich waters, typical for the genus Sericomyia. Description For terms, see Morphology of Diptera. Size: Head: The frons is yellow-orange immediately above the antennae. There is a black spot above that, which is more grayish towards the eyes. The vertex is dark brown. * The face is completely yellow without a medial black stripe. The antennae are plumose. The eyes are bare and holoptic in males, but dichoptic in the females.

	Sericomyia Bifasciata ''Sericomyia bifasciata'' ( Williston, 1887), the Long-nosed Pond Fly, is an uncommon species of syrphid fly. They have been observed from the northeastern part of North America. 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. The larvae in the genus Sericomyia are known as the rat-tailed with a long breathing tube taylored for aquatic environments. The larvae for this species are unknown. Diagnostics Flies rather short pile, not mimicking bumblebee. Yellow face with medial black stripe. Face elongate below eye by more than three-fourth height of eye. Scutellum yellow pilinose. Yellow abdominal bands, two pair in male but 3 pairs in female, finger-like and widely spaced.
