Because they are strong fliers and able to hover and inspect foliage for aphids, syrphids may be especially good at locating aphid colonies.

A single syrphid larva can consume hundreds of aphids during its development. Syrphid larvae also feed on other soft-bodied insects, such as mealybugs, psyllids, and whiteflies. Adult syrphids, also called flower flies or hover flies, are not predaceous.

2012, Steve H. Dreistadt, Integrated Pest Management for Citrus, Third Edition, page 94:

The impact of syrphids has seldom been assessed and their role may be underestimated due to their nocturnal feeding behavior.

In the Sarcophagans, or flesh-eaters, as the name implies, the bristles on the antennæ are feathered.

1841, Thaddeus William Harris, A Report on the Insects of Massachusetts: Injurious to Vegetation, volume 3, page 412:

This could prove a very important experiment: our difficulty is that there is no precise homology between the sarcophagan cuticle and that of other orders of insect; from the work of Wolfe (1954) and Dennell (1946) the dipteran epicuticle cannot be treated as having separate laminae of cuticulin and free lipid, such as we believe to be the state of affairs in other insects.

1964, Advances in Insect Physiology, volume 2:

Other insects, including a sarcophagan fly, a gnat, a sciarid fly, and two harmless mosquitoes dwell in the pitchers.

canker fly

Siebenkäs, in a voice of wrath, now turned bis seat of judgment into a penitent's stool for the Venner, abusing him as a canker-fly of female buds, a dove-hawk, a house-breaker of the treasures of marriage.

1845 [1796], Edward Henry Noel, transl., Flower, Fruit and Thorn Pieces: Or, The Married Life, Death, and Wedding of the Advocate of the Poor, Firmian Stanislaus Sibenkas̈, translation of original by Jean Paul, page 240:

In many districts, moreover, the appearance of the "canker" fly had a very prejudicial effect upon the quality of the oil.

1890, Great Britain. Foreign Office, Diplomatic and Consular Reports: Annual series, page 21:


cyclorrhaphan

Because circumversion originated in the Platypezidae and persists through the highest forms of the Schizophora, because it is featured in the lowest and among the highest cyclorrhaphans, we are convinced that the suborder Cyclorrhapha is properly considered to be a monophyletic group.

1968, The Wasmann Journal of Biology, volume 26, page 103:

The apparent oldest cyclorrhaphan, Opetiala shatalkani, is a compression fossil wing from the Purbeck of England (ca. 140 MYO), and it precedes other early cyclorrhaphans by about 10 MY.

2005, David Grimaldi, Evolution of the Insects, page 533:

Unlike the proboscides of Lower brachyceran lineages, which are continuous with the head capsule and tend to dangle (Matsuda 1965), the proboscides of most cyclorrhaphan species are suspended by a membranous region and divided into three functional parts: the basiproboscis (rostrum), medioproboscis (haustellum), and distiproboscis (labellum), each of which is defined by internal muscles but also shares muscles with the other regions (Graham-Smith 1930; Lall and Davies 1971).

The winged form of acrocerids is characterized by a great reduction in the size of the head, by very great increase of the thorax with weak legs, and by small, often costalized wings; the flies feed, if at all, on the nectar of flowers.
