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).[5]

Selected Species

Subgenus: Ocyptamus Macquart, 1834

Subgenus: Hermesomyia Vockeroth, 1969

Subgenus: Pipunculosyrphus Hull, 1937

Subgenus: Mimocalla Hull, 1943

Subgenus: Styxia Hull, 1943

Subgenus: Calostigma Shannon, 1927

Subgenus: Atylobaccha Hull, 1949

Proposed Genera

In 2020, five new genera were proposed for "orphaned" lineages within Ocyptamus, containing these species. The new genera are sometimes used for these species.[6]

Genus Fragosa

Genus Hypocritanus

Genus Maiana

Genus Nuntianus

Genus Victoriana
