Genus of flies
Ocyptamus is a large and diverse
genus of over 200 species of
hoverfly mostly found in the
Neotropical region.
[1]
[2] It is likely that many of these species will be discovered to be
synonyms though many others await description.
Classification
There is evidence that the genus is not
monophyletic
[3]
[4] and is
paraphyletic with regard to Eosalpingogaster and
Toxomerus , and some subgenera have been given full generic status (
Hybobathus ,
Pelecinobaccha ,
Orphnabaccha , and
Pseudoscaeva ).
