Ocyptamus

Ocyptamus is a large and diverse genus of over 200 species of hoverfly mostly found in the Neotropical region. It is likely that many of these species will be discovered to be synonyms though many others await description. Also there is some evidence the genus is not monophyletic and is paraphyletic with regard to Eosalpingogaster and Toxomerus, and some subgenera have been given full generic status (Hybobathus, Pelecinobaccha, Orphnabaccha, and Pseudoscaeva). 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
