Paragodon paragoides
Thompson, 1969
|
Paragodon paragoides is a small (4–5 mm) hoverfly which differs from other hoverflies by its simple male genitalia, and was accordingly considered the most primitive microdontine species. [2] It is the sole member of the genus Paragodon, as the other known species was removed to a separate genus, Surimyia.
Larvae are presumably found in ant nests.
They are native to South America. [2]
