Neocnemodon
Smoothleg fly
Neocnemodon is a genus of hoverflies in the family Syrphidae, distributed across North America and Europe. Species in this genus are small to medium-sized flies with distinctive smooth legs, a trait reflected in their common name 'Smoothleg fly'. The genus was established by Goffe in 1944 and is classified within the tribe Pipizini. Larvae are known to be predatory, feeding on specific aphid species associated with various host plants.
Pipiza femoralis
White-haired Pithead
Pipiza femoralis is a species of syrphid fly (hoverfly) first described by Loew in 1866. It belongs to the tribe Pipizini, a group of small to medium-sized hoverflies. The common name "White-haired Pithead" has been recorded for this species. As with other members of the genus Pipiza, it is likely associated with decaying organic matter and aphid honeydew as adult food sources, though specific ecological details remain poorly documented.

Adults are typical hoverflies with large compound eyes and a single pair of wings. Larvae are flattened, legless, and aphid predators. The genus belongs to the tribe Pipizini within subfamily Eristalinae.
