Aneriophora is a little-known genus of hoverflies from South America.[3] It contains only one species, Aneriophora aureorufa. The genus was originally named Eriophora by Rodolfo Amando Philippi (1865);[2] this name was preoccupied by Eriophora Simon, 1864, so it was renamed to Aneriophora by Stuardo and Cortés (1952).[1] This species is a specialist pollinator of Eucryphia cordifolia and Laurelia sempervirens.
