Name

Copestylum Macquart, 1846: Mém. Soc. R. Sci. Lille, 1844 (1845), 252.
References

Copestylum is one of the largest genera of hoverflies in the Americas.[3] It comprises more than 300 species,[4] of which only four have been found outside the Americas, having probably been introduced by the importation of cacti in which the larvae live.[3]
