Pyrophaena is a subgenus of the hoverfly genus Platycheirus[1] distinctive enough to sometimes treated as a separate genus in its own right.[2] Indeed a recent study of the phylogeny of the subfamily Syrphinae[3] found it to be closer to other certain other genera – Rohdendorfia, Syrphocheilosia and Spazigaster. Since only a few species were sampled the true systematic structure must await a more thorough survey of Platycheirus and related genera.
Species
- Platycheirus granditarsus (Forster, 1771)
- Platycheirus rosarum (Fabricius, 1787)
