''Eristalinus'' is a genus of
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 ...
. Most species have very distinctive eye marking in the form of spots or banding, though these features may fade on some preserved specimens. Most are stout flies, and are nimble flyers, even compared to other hoverfly species.


Systematics

At one time the members of this genus were divided into three
clade A clade (), also known as a monophyletic group or natural group, is a group of organisms that are monophyletic – that is, composed of a common ancestor and all its lineal descendants – on a phylogenetic tree. Rather than the English term, ...
s (''Eristalinus'', ''Eristalodes'' and ''Lathyrophthalmus'') based on morphological characters such as whether the eyes were spotted or striped. Recently Pérez-Bañon ''et al.'' studying the European species of ''Eristalinus'' using a combination of molecular data and male genitalia characters have determined that the genus in Europe at least, divides neatly into two clades - ''Eristalinus'' (+ ''Lathyrophthalmus'') & ''Eristalodes''. It was also discovered that the eye patterning was not taxonomically important as ''Eristalodes'' contained members with eyes either spotted or striped. The following list is an attempt to organise some of the species under subgeneric headings:
