Chymophila

Summary

Chymophila is a subgenus of the hoverfly genus Microdon. It was previously considered to be exclusively Neotropical,[2] but is now also known from the Nearctic and Oriental realms, and one species is known from Japan.[1] Chymophila was based on a composite type species: the holotype is a body of C. fulgens with the head of a conopid glued on.[2]
