Syrphipogon is a subgenus of the hoverfly genus Microdon. There are two known species. [2] They are very large microdontine flies of about 25 mm. They have a deeply sulcate scutellum and a facial mystax. They are mimics of the large bees of the genus Eulaema. [3]
They are native to the Neotropics. [3]
