Copestylum is one of the largest genera of hoverflies in the Americas. [3] It comprises more than 300 species, [4] of which only four have been found outside the Americas, having probably been introduced by the importation of cacti in which the larvae live. [3]
The following is a list of the subgenera within Copestylum, with just the type species of each subgenus listed afterwards. [4]
