Ischiodon aegyptius, the epauletted hoverfly, is a species of fly which is known to inhabit the Afrotropical realm.[2][3][4]
The adults are pollinators and hover among many flowers, whilst the larvae are green and featureless, feeding on aphids. The fly resembles a small wasp, and is a very powerful flier.[5]
