	Flower-fly - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The flower-flies or hover-flies are a family of flies (Diptera), scientifically termed the Syrphidae.
		As one of their names suggests, they are most often seen around flowers; the adults feed mainly on nectar and pollen,

	[Syrphidae] syrphidae and larval trophic groups (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
		Syrphidae were collected using Malaise traps (and therefore only adults were captured).
		One way I analysed the data was to group syrphid species richness and abundance based on their habitat preferences and also their feeding habits during their larval stage (based on the available literature).
		And while I'm writing here..I know that Syrphidae are called hoverflies in Europe, while in North America are generally called flower flies.

	Habitat manipulation to enhance the effectiveness of aphidophagous hover flies (Diptera: Syrphidae). (SA Winter, 1992 ... (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
		For assessing eggs, larvae, and pupae of aphidophagous Syrphidae, whole-plant removal from the field and examination in the laboratory proved superior to quick inspection of plots (while walking) and to detailed visual inspection of plants in the field (Lapchin et al., 1987).
		Keys to Syrphidae are found in Cole and Schlinger (1969) (adults), and Heiss (1938) (1arvae and puparia).
		Densities of aphidophagous Syrphidae were significantly different among cover crops on three of the eleven dates assessed, September 10, 14, and 29; sesbania featured the highest densities on all three.

		Two catalogues covering the Syrphidae family have been issued in the last eighty years.
		The second (Lynch, 1910) is a catalogue of the Argentinien Diptera, and the author gives generic and specific sinonymies and summaries of distribution and other data.
		And the fourth (Fluke, 1956-1957) is a catalogue of the Neotropical Syrphidae, wich also brings generic and specific sinonymies and geographical distribution.

		A range of hoverfly species (Diptera: Syrphidae) occur as larvae in agricultural and horticultural crops.
		In Europe, for instance, Episyrphus balteatus (Degeer) and Metasyrphus corollae (Fabricius) are the most abundant species on arable land (Dean 1982) and their voracious aphidophagous larvae have been identified as being economically important, having the potential to halt aphid population growth (Chambers and Adams 1986).

	Syrphidae Family
		Syrphidae are a family of medium sized flies characterised by their habit of hovering over flowers and then darting quickly away.
		They are often mistaken for bees and wasps as many species have similar yellow and fl patterns on their abdomens.
		The nectar feeding hover flies visit many different flowers and are likely to be important pollinators of plants.

	Flower Flies of Kentucky - University of Kentucky Entomology
		Flower flies, many of which are called "hover flies," belong to the family Syrphidae in the order Diptera (true flies).
		The most commonly seen species of flower flies are brightly colored, bee-like flies with yellow and fl markings.
		All common flies in the family Syrphidae have a so-called "spurious vein" in each wing (shown below).

		Howarth, Brigitte and Edmunds, Malcolm and Gilbert, Francis (2004) Does the abundance of hoverfly mimics (Syrphidae) depend on the numbers of their hymenopteran models ?.
		We tested the prediction that, if hoverflies are Batesian mimics, this may extend to behavioral mimicry such that their numerical abundance at each hour of the day (the daily activity pattern) is related to the numbers of their hymenopteran models.
