Genus of flies
Palpada genus of 85 neotropical and nearctic flower flies or hoverflies .[ 1] [ 2] [ 3] [ 4] Eristaliini containing dozens of genera.[ 1] Eristalis Meromacrus Eristalinus Helophilus Palpada is distinguished by:
Eyes with uniform pile.
Meron with fine pale hairs in front of or below spiracle.
Hind femur with basal patch of dense black setulae.
Cell r2+3 closed before wing margin.
R4+5 moderately to strongly dipped into cell r4+5 .[ 1] The larvae are aquatic and have a distinctive shape, usually being referred to as rat-tailed . The rat-tail is a breathng tube that allows the larvae to live in low oxygen water.
