Ocyptamus

Ocyptamus cf. fuscipennis
Scientific classification
Kingdom:	Animalia
Phylum:	Arthropoda
Class:	Insecta
Order:	Diptera
Family:	Syrphidae
Subfamily:	Syrphinae
Tribe:	Syrphini
Genus:	Ocyptamus (Macquart, 1834)

Ocyptamus is a large and diverse genus of over 300 species of hoverfly mostly found in the Neotropical region.^[1]^[2] It is likely that many of these species will be discovered to be synonyms though many others await description. Also there is some evidence the genus is not monophyletic^[3]^[4] and is paraphyletic with regard to Eosalpingogaster and Toxomerus, and some subgenera have been given full generic status.^[5]
