Brachypalpus is a genus of hoverflies, from the family Syrphidae, in the order Diptera.[4][5][6] The head is triangular and produced well forwards and somewhat downwards. The thorax and abdomen with pile often rather long. The hind femur is swollen and with an obtuse spur apically and ventrally. The hind trochanters of male is spurred.
