Sercomyia are large flies with species that are bee mimics both short pile and long pile. Sericomyiine flower flies are common in boreal forests across the Holarctic region and southward at higher elevations into the Oriental and Neotropical regions. Sericomyia species have larvae of the rat-tailed maggot type, often found in ponds rich in decomposing vegetation where they filter out microorganisms as their food

Orthonevra is a genus of flies in the family Syrphidae. They are worldwide in distribution with at least 59 species identified concentrated mainly in eastern North America and Europe. Species of the genus Orthonevra are commonly called mucksuckers after the larvae which have been found in organic rich mud, i.e. muck. This genus belongs to the tribe Brachyopini that includes the prominent genera Melanogaster, Brachyopa, Neoascia and Sphegina.

Lejogaster is a genus of small, shiny, metallic hoverflies.

Neoascia is a genus of small black and yellow or mostly black flies with a narrow abdomen near the thorax. They occur mainly in damp places among low herbage. The larva of Neoascia are flattened without oral hooks and a have a short posterior spiracular process or "tail", and are saprophagous. In 1925 Curran reviewed the genus Neoascia . In this work a key is provided and ten species are described including four new species some of which have later been determined to be synonyms.

Hammerschmidtia is a Holarctic genus of hoverflies whose larvae live in sap under the bark of freshly fallen trees. ==Diagnostics== For terminology see Speight key to genera and glossary The face of the male is tuberculate, with long hairs on the upper and lower sides of the lower three-quarters of the arista. Most of the hairs are several times longer than the arista. The scutum is armed with very evident spines, while the anepisternum, postalar callus, and scutellum have strong bristles. The abdomen is twice as long as the thorax, and the first posterior cell does not end acutely from the a
