Furcantenna is a genus of hoverfly from Guangxi, China, containing two species. Furcantenna yangi is only known from males.[1] Furcantenna is similar to the genus Schizoceratomyia. The two genera differ from each other in the shape of the scutellum; in Furcantenna a deep medial sulcus in its posterior margin divides the scutellum into two lobes.
