AR Syrphidae |

Working list of the Syrphid flies likely in Arkansas. Obtained by starting with the Oklahoma list and key in the .pdf paper here. This work is from Daniel Shorter and W. A. Drew. You can refer to this link for the specific species differentiation. But I think that Oklahoma was extremely poorly collected. There are only about 70 species in that paper. The subfamilies, tribes and genera are below. These are now updated to the current Nearctica genera.
There are about 1000 species in the US north of Mexico. Most southern states will have 100 to 200 species. Confirmed other states here were added mostly from the monstrous unpublished PhD. of Howard Vincent Weems entitled The Syrphid Flies of the Southeastern United States from 1954. This boosted the present list to nearly 150 species. All of those species confirmed in the OK paper are marked with an OK as Weems did not cover that state. (Some species in the OK paper were predicted but had not been proven for the state. These are marked with an asterisk.) Numbers in parentheses are the number of species in the original Oklahoma paper for each genus. Genera with no number had no known species in the OK paper. Representative images of the genus are linked to genus names. Some species images on the net are linked directly if available. |
